I love this idea of getting the kids to move to learn maths.
I can see how this will help with symmetry, rotation, translation etc miming the kids buddies movements.
Angles with tell them to move 90 degrees to their right etc.
I can also see how it could be useful with algebra and getting kids to see patterns getting them to come up with 4 counts and getting the buddy beside them to tell me what would come next.
Hi Danielle
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting concept! Another opportunity to make learning authentic - using real life situations to put mathematical concepts into context.
I look forward to seeing your trials with this.

Maths and dance sound like a wonderful combination! I can't wait to see how you implement this in your classroom!
