(high schoolers needed) A Math & Movement Family Fun Night is a high energy math and reading event that increases parental engagement. Children use fun floor mats and wall charts to learn math and reading concepts through movement. This enjoyable event boosts kids confidence in math and reading skills—and parents have fun too! Math & Movement is a kinesthetic, multi-sensory approach to teaching math that incorporates physical exercise, stretching, cross-body movements, and visually-pleasing floor mats. Math & Movement increases fluency and deepens conceptual understanding of the math concepts included in the Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS).
