This post by Jaylene Bengtson and Bob McNutt describes a session they attended prior to mine called "Sixteen Going On Seventeen: Math Meets Movement" led by Rene Martinez. These posts were generated by the participants at the conference and reflect their thoughts and beliefs. I'm just happy to post! Enjoy!

The writers chose this image by Keith Haring because of the movement it represents. |
In our first breakout session we learned how movement can be
utilized to support math concepts in a variety of levels across grade levels.
We experienced how to make both physical and mental connections that reinforced
the learning of difficult mathematical expressions. Coming from both Art
Education and Physical Education we can incorporate our own ideas teaching
different units with movement. It can
also be used in a variety of other teaching professions. Great session lead by Rene Martinez and we
highly recommend using movement in the classroom.
