Goal: To expand participants’ use of dance/movement experiences to explore math fundamentals and math concepts which are part of the early child curriculum.

Co-Sponsored with the Fairfax County Office for Children

DESCRIPTION

Movement is the first language of children; it is how they first explore their environment, it is what they do naturally. Through creative movement and dance, children can develop the thinking skills and concepts used in preschool early math learning curriculum such as: number sense, classification, geometry, measurement and mathematical reasoning. Participants will explore how kinesthetic experiences can enhance math and movement skills as well as support literacy development, social interaction and self-regulation. Includes handout.
