Spin Your Creativity with Math and Color at Mathnasium!

Dec 9, 2024 | Park Slope

Math isn’t just about numbers; it’s about creativity, patterns, and fun! At Mathnasium, we’re combining the joy of art with the wonder of math through our Spin Wheel Paint Activity—a hands-on way to explore the magic of symmetry, motion, and vibrant colors.

What Is Spin Wheel Painting?

Spin wheel painting is an exciting art activity where a spinning platform helps create stunning designs as paint or markers are applied. The centrifugal force spreads the colors in mesmerizing patterns, showcasing how physics and math create beauty in motion.

Why It’s Perfect for Math Lovers

Spin wheel painting isn’t just fun; it’s educational too! Here’s what you can learn:

  • Symmetry in Motion: Watch how balanced patterns emerge from spinning motion.
  • Geometry in Art: Discover shapes, curves, and radial designs created by the paint.
  • Science Meets Creativity: Experience how centrifugal force distributes paint in unique ways.

What You’ll Need for the Activity

To participate, we’ll be using:

  • A spin wheel (powered by batteries).
  • Markers or paints to bring vibrant colors to life.
  • Cards or sheets placed under the wheel to capture the designs.

Don’t worry if you don’t have these supplies at home—we have everything ready for you at the center!

Why Math and Art Together?

Combining math and art helps students see math from a new perspective. It’s not just about solving problems—it’s about discovering how math shapes the world around us, from patterns in nature to the designs we create.
