Infuse Literacy into Your Math Bulletin Board (or door)…

Here is my door for this year.  I just finished it!  It took a lot of work, but it turned out so cute.  I took the idea from Greg Tang’s book The Grapes of Math.  I recycled the grapes from another project in the past to use on my door.  The grapes were made from purple and green construction paper circles that I glued together. I then punched a hole through the top with a hole puncher and put some green pipe cleaners through the top.  To make the vine tendrils curly, I wrapped the pipe cleaners around a pencil.  I recreated the grape vine with twisted brown bulletin board paper.  The grapes were made from purple and green construction paper circles that I glued together.  To stimulate math thinking, I added a copy of Greg Tang’s poem so that students will be encouraged to count the number of grapes that are displayed.
