Math Through MovementNicole Ruggiero, CoordinatorLearn math through creative movement! Each day we will begin with a simple math problem, incorporating movement to help find the answer. The children will explore different ways to move their bodies by creating geometric shapes such as a triangle, circle, square or line. By the end of week one, they will have created a shape inspired solo dance. In week two, the focus will be on adding and subtracting, as they create a duet by adding another dancer to their solo, a trio by adding two more people, working towards a group dance. A final perfor-mance for parents will show how adding and subtracting dancers while using shape inspired movement can create a full dance concert. Get ready to learn math skills and move bodies!
