Below is our interview with Jennifer King – a kindergarten teacher who loves all of her Math & Movement materials! Jennifer teaches at Brookside Elementary School in Susquehanna Valley Central School District, located in Binghamton, NY.
I’m beginning my 21st year of teaching in the fall.
I learned about Math & Movement through an email from my district about a free Saturday workshop.
I’ve been using Math & Movement in my classroom for two years.
The changes I’ve seen is their excitement in skip counting and finding out ways to use the Add/Subtract Rug to do more skip counting! My students also have better number sense as we build and make numbers on the rug as well as on the Place Value Hop mat.
Adding/subtracting becomes less confusing with the huge visual for them to see and actually hop to show addition and subtraction.
I love the Add/Subtract Rug with its endless learning possibilities.
The Place Value Hop mat has also become a favorite because it gives me a good way to see how my students’ number sense is as they have to build, hop, and say the number.
The Skip Counting mats are also great because they can be used independently once students understand what is expected.
I also love the literacy mats – Sentence Hop, Make-A-Word Hop, and Word Hops – which foster fluency, practice and independence.
Our Place Value materials teach the fundamentals of multi-place number building. Put numbers in the place value columns, then hop to say the number with the help of the place value prompts.
Movement isn't just for recess
