Program Timeline
The City of Arlington and Community Foundation of Snohomish County awarded funding to a third grade classroom to participate in the Moving & Learning Classrooms Program. The Moving & Learning Classrooms Program supplied K-5 elementary school classrooms with kinesthetic learning materials and professional training to combat the difficulties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was sponsored by the National Math Foundation.
In early 2021, the program provided Ms. Amy Egan and her third grade class at Eagle Creek Elementary School with training, materials, and virtual math intervention sessions. Ms. Egan’s class of 18 students participated in the program from January 6, 2021 to March 1, 2021.
Over the course of the program, Math & Movement Founder and CEO, Suzy Koontz, held 30-minute live, virtual sessions weekly with the class. Suzy led the class in active math movements to help the students practice skip counting.
Additionally, Suzy instructed Ms. Egan and the students on how to use the Math & Movement Skip Counting by 3s floor mat to solve multiplication problems. Throughout the school day, Ms. Egan incorporated the mats into their lessons.
Watch how the students interacted with Suzy during one virtual session below.
At the start of the program, on January 6th, the students took a pre-test, before they started participating in movement-based activities. One month later, on February 1st, students took a post-test after a practice session with Suzy. The Skip Counting by 3s mat was available for students to hop on and use while solving problems. Another month later, on March 1st, students took their final post-test. The Skip Counting by 3s mat was not set out.
The students greatly improved their post-test scores from their pre-test scores after engaging in kinesthetic learning strategies from Math & Movement.

“Dear City of Arlington, Thank you so much for the grant money you gave us. It was very generous of you. I enjoyed jumping on the mats and when I was first introduced to multiplication I felt overwhelmed and that it was too hard. But when I jumped on the mat, it made it feel easy. Now, thanks to you, I can pass my times 7 test. I also am no longer stressed out when I take a test. – Brooklyn”
