Flag Art


A little ratio art might be a fun way to get ready for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday. In this activity (Flags) students measure; create whole number ratios for the official U.S. flag; decide how our artistic flags will be different from the official flag; make stars from regular pentagons, and finally create a flag design in honor of Memorial Day.

Lenny Monson's 6th grade class at Day Middle School, Newton, MA, created these.
