World Art Day, a celebration of the fine arts that promotes the creativity and diversity of artists around the world, occurs each year on April 15. Here at ExploreLearning, we’re celebrating the day with the Fraction Artist 2 (Area Models of Functions) Gizmo.
In the Gizmo, students extend their understanding of fractions by creating their own original paintings in the style of Piet Mondrian, a Dutch painter from the early 20th century. In the Gizmo, students create and analyze modern art-style paintings by dividing and coloring a square canvas. They study the sizes of different fractions by comparing the sizes of different sections. They also find creative ways to make paintings that are one-half blue, which provides a nice introduction to adding fractions with unlike denominators.
Bring science to life with real-life STEM cases.
Gizmos STEM Cases put students in the roles of professionals tasked with solving real-world STEM problems — just like real scientists.

Hello, Ms. D. I apologize about emailing you during the weekend, but I couldn’t wait to tell you. Gizmos is so much fun, and I absolutely love it. I actually learn something and I like the fact that it is interactive. Thank you so much for making us do Gizmos.
- Gizmos Student, American International School, Abu DhabiI really love Gizmos as they help students grasp difficult concepts that can’t always be seen. They make abstract ideas come to life.
- Gizmos Teacher, Foothills School Division, Alberta, CanadaI’m really a strong proponent of Gizmos in science because I have seen firsthand what it does in terms of engaging kids in labs. Gizmos really allow students to go deeper in terms of problem solving and critical thinking.
- Gizmos Assistant Superintendent, Miami-Dade Public Schools, FLGizmos STEM Cases improve students’ content knowledge and critical thinking ability. The kids are putting more thought into things and they’re asking better questions.
- Gizmos Director of Science, Gwinnett County Public Schools, GAGizmos STEM Cases is the most engaging program that I’ve ever seen! High-quality graphics and real-world stories make them more thought-provoking than traditional teaching materials. Students become more personally invested in the lessons and feel a sense of accomplishment [when doing them].
- Gizmos Director of Science, Walker School, GAGizmos have earned every major edtech award!
