Cross-Lateral Movements: All About the Midline of the Body
Find out how cross lateral movements, or cross crawl exercises, can boost learning by crossing the midline of body.
Below is our interview with Susana Garcia-Bech – a 5th grade math and science teacher at Meadow Park Elementary School in Charlotte County Public Schools, located in Port Charlotte, FL.
I teach 5th grade math and science at Meadow Park Elementary School. I have been a teacher for 8 years.
I learned about Math & Movement through our PDC (Professional Development Center) that offered training for Math & Movement.
I’ve been using Math & Movement for two years.
My students are more engaged and love learning new standards when they can move around.
My favorite floor mat is the Cartesian Coordinate Hop. The kids love the concept and love to move around on the mat. It really helps them understand the concept of moving for the x and y coordinates.
This large coordinate plane depicts the X and Y axis with the points -10 through 10 labeled. Use the grid to plot ordered pairs and tackle early graphing lessons with movement! Select your material choice and size below.

What is kinesthetic learning, and how does it benefit students? Here is everything you need to get started with new strategies in the classroom!
Research shows that ELL students prefer a kinesthetic learning style. Incorporating movement-based learning strategies into lessons can help bilingual classrooms thrive.
Discover how movement-based learning can help teachers implement effective classroom management strategies for elementary students.
