Math Through Physical Activity Games
Funded Sep 10, 2013These resources al
lowed students to collaborate to create game activities that gave our kinesthetic and tactile learners opportunities to enjoy math beyond staying in seats. Students considered the physical resource items that I purchased then they designed math problems that when answered correctly, afforded students the chance to engage in physical activity that was stimulating and sheer fun!
My students were initially excited to see these engaging games. Students collaborated to create game activities that gave our kinesthetic and tactile learners opportunities to enjoy math beyond staying in seats. Students considered the physical resource items that I purchased then they designed math problems that when answered correctly, afforded students the chance to engage in physical activity that was stimulating and sheer fun!
Next I would like to students integrate technology by creating performance videos to share math strategies through performing arts (e.g. dance, rap, sing). As middle school students my kids are showman and performers. They will connect that to what they are learning to help others learn.”
