6. Essential Question(s): questions that organize and set the focus for the lesson, eliciting higher-order thinking. 7. Duration: 3 class periods at 40 minutes each 8. Materials: rulers, pencils, markers, matte board, masking tape, "These Four Walls" Installation art piece, digital camera, projector, various objects and materials to use in the Installation. 11. Assessment: pre and post test assessment. 12. Related Materials & Resources: Math Curse by [|Jon Scieszka], wed site for Piet Mondrian 13. Keywords: Abstract Art, Piet Mondrian, Measurement
 * Day 1 - The teacher introduce the math and art lesson by reading __Math Curse__ by Jon Scieszka.
 * Teacher gives pre-assessment test to determine the students' understanding of measurement
 * Teacher introduces the artist Piet Mondrian by providing background information and examples of his art work.
 * Day 2 - Teacher demonstrates how to use a ruler to create vertical and horizontal lines.
 * Students will be given rulers and instructed to measure lines of predetermined lengths in inches and half inches.
 * Students will be given the following materials: matte board, pencils, rulers to begin creating an abstract art piece inspired by Piet Mondrian
 * If time permits, students will begin placing masking tape on the vertical and horizontal lines.
 * Day 3- Students will complete placing masking tape on lines.
 * The students will use assorted markers to color some of the segmented areas created by the tape to incorporate the elements and principles of design.
 * After completing the segments the masking tape will be carefully removed.
 * In the following weeks, the students work will displayed in an Installation Art piece at the school district art show. Prior to the show, the teacher will photograph student's art and put it into a slide show with music. The slide show will be projected into the Installation art piece at the annual art show which is open to the public.


 * Big Ideas, Concepts, and Competencies will be automatically populated based on the standard and eligible content alignment if you choose to upload your lesson for vetting in the SAS portal. http://www.pdesas.org/module/content/pyb/
