Math and art are deeply connected, and combining the two through projects, assignments, or even during lessons can significantly boost engagement in your students. Visual literacy is not just about looking at an image, it is interpreting it in context and using other senses and critical thinking skills.

This way, students will fully understand the formula and the meaning behind it as they engage with visual literacy. Since they're making the connections between the square sides and the square areas, and then the triangle sides. When you create something, you really learn what you know, the ideas that it took to create this new product.

When students create, they become more invested in their learning because they aren't just mindlessly consuming information. They become active creators. Visual literacy infuses all aspects of learning, and it's an integral part of every curricular area, from historic maps to star charts to geometry diagrams.

We can see visual literacy present in all different subjects. The soul never thinks without a picture.
