At Math & Movement, our mission is simple: Get students active and confident in learning. Combining data, research, and decades of collective teaching experience, we have created a series of kinesthetic educational materials. Our program is designed to engage learners mentally and physically and supplement your school’s curriculum.
I am driven by a deep belief in the transformative power of movement-based learning. I’ve witnessed it firsthand: students who once dreaded math—disengaged and intimidated—have risen to the top, their enthusiasm reignited and self-confidence unwavering.
In just 20 to 30 minutes, I’ve seen the impossible happen. Students shift from frustration and exhaustion to energy, focus, and eagerness to tackle math challenges. They become so immersed in the process that it’s hard to pull them away, driven by a true excitement and an undeniable sense of achievement.
I am convinced that movement is essential to our daily lives. Education, as we know it, can be completely reimagined and strengthened through movement-based learning. This is not just a shift in methodology; it is a catalyst for unlocking unparalleled success in students.

Math & Movement Founder and CEO
Our program fosters strong mind-body connections that are the bedrock of healthy lives. Research has found an outstanding correlation between movement and enhanced learning.
Math & Movement has been peer-reviewed! Our program has been determined to be statistically significant in enhancing math confidence and self-efficacy.
Our products are designed with teachers and students in mind. We started off by offering durable floor mats covering various math concepts. Our classic floor mats are built to last, offering years of practice for each new class.
Since then, we’ve expanded into more options, including stickers, wall banners, and books ranging in Elementary, Middle, and some High School concepts.
We want to make learning through movement as simple as possible to encourage more educators to give it a try! Active Math Movements are a fun and quick way to get more math practice. Start with adding just 5 minutes of movement a day.
We provide in-depth trainings on a wide variety of topics that benefit classroom teachers, PE teachers, administrators, parents, and anyone interested in helping students enjoy learning. From webinars to full school workshops, we’ll help you liven up your lessons!

“Before Math & Movement, our kids were really struggling with the concept of having to do math…Our kids felt like math was scary…Now, I don’t even know if they realize they’re doing math…They absolutely have a different viewpoint. They feel like it is something they can learn.”
Fayth Jenkins
Principal, Suncoast School for Innovative Studies
“As a dual language school with specific needs that were not being met with existing methods, we worked with Math & Movement to custom-design floor mats and other resources to support our curriculum. Our entire school is now equipped with kinesthetic learning materials that are fully aligned with our educational objectives. We are extremely grateful to Math & Movement for their support and flexibility. Thanks to these materials, our students experience significant benefits in their learning every day.”

“We have used Math & Movement for over five years, and the results have been remarkable. The mats are durable and require no maintenance. The teacher who used the materials in nearly every lesson has the highest math scores in the school. Math & Movement played a key role in transforming us from a school in need of improvement to one in good standing.”

“It’s an amazing program. I love that it’s supplemental to our core curriculum. It’s a really nice springboard and seems to support our math in focus series in a way that gets kids tired out at the same time!”

Current Deputy Superintendent, Schenectady City School District
“As a special education teacher, I love using these mats in our general education classroom. Every child is engaged and excited to learn their multiplication tables. When I bring a mat out the whole class cheers. Thank you for making math more accessible not just for my students, but every child in our classroom.”
