I enjoyed the visit to the SDMA. It was my first time at the museum and it surpassed my expectations. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, which made the tour very enjoyable. I liked how the museum was divided into distinct themes and eras. When it comes to education, the museum makes it very easy for teachers to take their students. Our tour guide explained that we can incorporate subjects like math, science and history with art. It is a great idea to explain math terms with art since the majority of students struggle with math at all age levels. So, my introducing an art piece and asking about shapes and organic shapes we can implement simple math concepts. It is also helpful for teachers that the museum organizes tours designed for students, so that the students can get more out of the experience. As a teacher, I think I'll use the SDMA as a resource for my students since I believe students are more motivated and excited to learn when they are outside the classroom, away from the routine.
