Math & Movement is mainly targeted towards PreK through fifth grade. Although, we do have several materials for higher grade levels, too. Students of all ages benefit from movement!
Children love to move—and they need to move. Too much sitting results in decreased circulation and a subsequent decrease in concentration, while certain kinds of movement stimulate the release of dopamine and noradrenaline in the brain, which are important in learning.
Math & Movement harnesses a child’s natural inclination for activity and turns it into enthusiasm for acquiring number concept skills. Thus, Math & Movement motivates students while simultaneously strengthening their math skills.
We recommend Brain-Based Learning and Enriching the Brain by Eric Jensen; Smart Moves by Carla Hannaford and What’s Math Got to Do With It? by Jo Boaler.
