Frequently Asked Questions
What types of activities are included in summer learning programs?
When educators use Math & Movement in their summer learning programs, activities focus on movement and kinesthetic strategies. Students can hop, step, crawl, trace, and even dance as they practice math concepts on our heavy-duty floor mats! Math & Movement goes beyond filling out worksheets by allowing students to solve problems by moving their bodies on our materials.
Additionally, educators will receive access to our online activity database, which features detailed instructions for games to play on each mat!
Why are summer learning programs important?
Summer learning programs are important because they prevent students from losing the academic progress they made during the school year while on summer break. These programs also keep students academically engaged, help them retain and reinforce skills, and prepare them for the upcoming school year.
How do summer learning programs prevent summer learning loss?
Summer learning programs prevent learning loss by providing continuous academic engagement. By participating in structured learning activities during the summer, students maintain and build upon the skills they developed during the school year. This consistent practice helps to reinforce knowledge and prevent regression. Better yet, kinesthetic activities make these lessons fun and easier to remember!
Are there different types of summer learning programs available?
Yes! Check out our three different summer learning kits outlined above. These summer learning kits are a great way to start incorporating movement into your program. You can also contact us for a customized kit to suit your program’s needs.
Why should I include movement in my summer learning program?
Children love to move—and they need to move! Too much sitting results in decreased circulation and a subsequent decrease in concentration. Movement stimulates the release of dopamine and noradrenaline in the brain, which boosts learning and positive feelings! Plus, summer is a great time to teach children the importance of staying active.
Why should I add Math & Movement to my summer learning program?
Math & Movement harnesses a child’s natural inclination for activity and turns it into enthusiasm for acquiring academic skills. Thus, Math & Movement motivates students while simultaneously strengthening their skills and allowing them to have fun while learning.
