Kiddo loves his math activities. I thought drawing with a compass would be a fun math art project for Kiddo to exercise his creative juices. The geometry aspect would be a way for me to entice him into doing arts and crafts.
At first he had a really hard time keeping the compass point steady. We figured out that a piece of cardboard worked much better than plain paper. He could poke the sharp end into the board to keep the compass point from slipping around.
I love how after making a bunch of circles he decided to color them! Geometry is very artistic.

Lovely. And great idea to use a compass on cardboard so it doesn't slide around.

You know, I was thinking about completely different compass and was confused looking at the pictures. I was always wondering how this thing is called in English. I like how he colored the circles - really very pretty.
