New teaching concept helps students learn math in the form of dance classes, a program that was developed by MIT graduate Kirin Sinha.
Tom Evert is a “teaching artist” who teaches math and geometry through the lens of interpretive dance at various Northeast Ohio schools. “We use dance to demonstrate our principles,” ex… ...
Patterns are simple sequences that repeat over and over again in a certain order. Supporting children’s ability to recognize patterns can improve mathematical skills.
Patterns were mostly left out of the common-core math standards in the early grades (kindergarten and 1st grade) due to a lack of evidence that they helped children understand later math concepts.
