Jumping Circles

We have created and implemented a variety of activities that focus on kinesthetic learning. The activities all include hula hoops and physical interaction. The students learn concepts like fractions and analog clocks, all while putting their bodies in motion. We have researched, collected, and analyzed data to show how this benefits students in the mathematics classroom.

Use of excel and excel functions in the classroom to allow students to problem solve and use technology to their benefit. By using excel for basic operations and even to build/use formulas, we can put more emphasis on the topic and not the meniscal calculations that give students wrong answers and deviate them away from math.
