This is one way how learning math can be fun. It is great that there are teachers who continue to think of ways how learning can be fun both for the students and the teacher.
Outdoor Grid Gets Sandwich Students Excited For Math #dyscalculia
In the road to adult life, kids alternate moments of high-energy physical activity with others of very deep concentration. As you grow, the idea is that you manage to transition between those moments in an increasingly at-will, rational way, instead of just ´going through the emotions´. Visual tasks (or “learn as you see” tasks) can make children get bored or grow anxious after some time. Switching to related kinesthetical tasks ( this is, “learn as you do” tasks) helps them channel their energy into applying what they just have seen and, therefore, improving their assimilation of data and knowledge. The “math hopscotch” grid devised by a Massachusetts school can give you an insight on how this harmony between watching and doing can be achieved.
