100th Day of School Ideas and Movement-Based Math Activities
January 17, 2025
Below is our interview with Steve Orozco – a physical education teacher for PreK-2nd grade students in New York City. Steve teaches at Public School 228 – The Ivan Lafayette Early Childhood School of the Arts.
I have been teaching for over 15 years.
I went to a session on Math & Movement at SHAPE America’s 95th Annual Eastern District Conference at Atlantic City in May 2016. Suzy Koontz, Math & Movement founder, was the speaker of the very engaging presentation.
I have been using Math & Movement with my PE students at P.S. 228 since the start on the 2017-2018 school year.
Children are more focused in class; They are motivated and eager to incorporate movement and math skills into the PE program.
I like them all; however, I especially like the Skip Counting by 3’s mat because it gives the second graders a challenge. Most of them have not been introduced to multiplication yet and some of them set high standards for themselves and strive to achieve their goals.
This large format number line mat has large blocks for each multiple of 3. Each block contains the numeral, word and the equivalent number of symbols for multi-dimensional learning.
Movement isn't just for recess
