Bring Movement to Your Afterschool Program
Play-Based Learning Tools for Your School
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 with that purpose in mind. Our program is designed to engage learners mentally and physically and supplement your school’s curriculum.
After School
Program Results
On October 22, 2019, Math & Movement hosted an after-school program for 11 students at the Greater Ithaca Activities Center (GIAC). The goal was to increase student performance and understanding of skip counting and multiplication. As a bonus, students gained extra physical activity throughout the day.
The program started with a pre-test to measure students’ math skills. They then learned two active math movements – basketball and soccer – as a warm-up to learn one-to-one correspondence and skip counting.
Students then practiced skip counting by 3’s on our floor mats to solve multiplication problems. They jumped, hopped, and skipped to fill out a practice worksheet. They worked in pairs as part of a flexible grouping strategy, which improves social communication and improves student confidence.
After having fun learning threes times table, the students then took a follow-up test. Check out how much they improved!
