Celtic Knots and the Art of Mathematics
Posted by Eric WernerSeventh and eighth graders have learned the basics of drawing Celtic Knots. Through trial and error, students learn the fundamentals of how a knot can occupy a given space, how to create barriers, how to loop ends, how to explore freeform designs, and how every knot winds up self-correcting to an over-under pattern. Students have been inspired to spend break/snack time in my math classroom to design new knots, improve old designs and share what they have created.
