Math on the Move: Engaging Students in Whole Body Learning
|
In her new book Math on the Move: Engaging Students in Whole Body Learning (Heinemann, 2016) Malke Rosenfeld illustrates the amazing learning that happens when the body and math come together in both dance and non-dance settings. Malke pulls from both research and practice to build a framework for this work, reminding us that, “It’s the partnership between the math and the whole moving body that creates opportunities for potent mathematical sense making.” Filled with classroom-tested activities and detailed coaching tips, and supported with extensive online video clips, Math on the Move shows how movement can enliven the learning process rather than simply offer a break from it.
