The modern elementary school, Savremena primary school from Belgrade, is one of the partners that participated in the Math and Move project.
With the help of this project, we brought a lot of news and new practices to our school. We made mathematics more fun and playful for our students! The students very quickly and enthusiastically adopted a new way of approaching mathematics. Through play and movement, they learned many lessons that the project brought them.
The students performed each lesson using their bodies with their teachers and were very dedicated to their work, while also having fun the whole time.
Later, they recorded all those lessons and prepared them for an E-book. With the help of recorded lessons, they renewed what they had learned and thus encouraged interaction and creativity, what else they could improve and add to the lessons.
The video lessons are very clear and with concise rules, which is a relief for the students, and they also required movement. By moving the their bodies, this also activated the student’s brain circuits.
Also, the lessons proved to be very fun, and all movements, no matter how small, lead to a big step in problem solving. With the created video lessons, students will be able to learn about signaling, coding, time measurement through digital and analog clocks, length measurement, the basics of addition and subtraction, the basics of multiplication and division…
Our pupils had a load of fun expressing themselves and connecting math with enjoyment!
