Ebook:
The focus is learning basic math skills. The songs, when danced, help instill
in the student the "meaning"
of counting, addition, subtraction, and sets. It is easiest to learn when
several of the senses are used. Body to
mind using the senses, and mind
to body for action. If students can't sing, clapping may be substituted.
Musical scores to songs, and photos of dance movements included. For primary grades. 22 pages. 2,000 words.
EPUB ISBN: 9781365287121
Rhythmic bodily movement
uses both sides of the brain, as the right brain mostly controls the actions of
the left side of the body and the left brain mostly controls actions on the
right side of the body. Music and movement use both sides of the brain in
coordination.
Hint:
Print out the ebook and 3-hole punch into a binder.
Each lesson with music staff and instructions takes one side of an 8.5 by 11
inch page.
