THE MATH PARTY: Sing! Dance! Exercise! Learn!

Wednesday February 10, 2021

Workshop 3

Come sing, dance, exercise and learn! This electrifying and empowering presentation challenges 21st century educators to embrace the art of infusing music, dance and exercise into their existing math curriculum. Research indicates that the infusion of singing, dancing and exercising with curriculum content invigorates learning; it physically and mentally engages students while academically preparing and motivating them to excel. The Math Party presentation will inform educators of a nonconventional instructional strategy that, if infused with traditional math lessons, will increase interest, retention and achievement levels of students with diverse learning backgrounds. Participants will gain theoretical and practical knowledge of how learning through music and movement enhances instruction and amplifies cognitive skills, while promoting a healthy lifestyle. Participants will learn dances, exercises, and songs that emphasize mathematical vocabulary, concepts and procedures.
