 I've been blogging over at Math at Home this month about Tessalation! and creative ways of exploring math. The latest post features a Q&A between me and Malke Rosenfeld, a dance instructor who brings innovative math learning into elementary classrooms with her program Math in Your Feet (TM). The work Malke and others are doing is important since it gives children a real context to learn math in -- and a fun one! Read the full Q&A with Malke Rosenfeld here.

As long as you know that you are capable of helping the kids develop the skills that they have, you need to do it because it could be your simple way of teaching them, may it be your job or not. Actually, it was fun watching you dance while teaching mathematics! It was unconventional yet you were able to teach the students the right way! That could be the latest trend in teaching, and everyone will surely thank you for that! As a dance teacher who is also concerned in a variety of sports, I’ve observed huge differences between kids who are involved in partner dancing and those who are only involved in sports. Children from an early age must be encouraged to actively contribute to dance forms. For teaching the same to children, you can either check out videos on YouTube or can consult professional dance trainers. Leave a Reply. |
