Snowballs and Diamonds



Imagine if Math was taught as Poetry! For this session our facilitator led us through the process of understanding different forms of poetry incorporating our knowledge of Math. We discussed the various forms and rules of poetry writing and the uses of following these rules.  After looking at various examples of diamante and snowball poem we thought of math concepts which can be employed to create form in poetry. 

Here is a shape poem by one of our classmate 


Poem- Snowball


I
Am
The
Item
Which
Starts
So small
Gets so big
White, cold
Dangerous too
Guess who I am?
… A big snow ball!!
