Math and Movement changing schools

Math & Movement is a kinesthetic, multi-sensory approach to teaching math and literacy that incorporates physical exercise, stretching, cross-body movements, yoga and visually pleasing floor mats designed to encourage students to practice concepts. Our program allows students to physically hop, walk, crawl, dance or touch the mats and banners as they learn, thus using more learning modalities (visual, auditory, motor, and kinesthetic) when practicing. The movements in our program help students master concepts while simultaneously offering teachers and students an overall sense of well-being. Incorporating these exercises during the day, before testing, or during transitions, allows teachers and students to feel energized, focused, calm, and prepared to learn. Math & Movement is composed of six categories: Active Math: Whisper/Loud Movements Sit-Down Math Activities Hallway Math Activities Active Math: Skip Counting Movements Tapping at the Table Activ
