Connecting Math for Deeper Understanding

This article highlights the notion that students need to engage in tactile-kinesthetic mathematical learning and prompts me to consider how important it is to embed math across the curriculum. We should see math through the lens of various subject areas such as Drama and Dance, Music, Physical Education, Outdoor Education, etc. in order to further develop and solidify problem solving skills and strategies, as well as alleviate some of the negative attitudes towards math. I feel that the example of students acting out a math problem and subsequent improvement in scores emphasizes the point. Math concepts should not be addressed solely in math class if we are going to create a solid foundation in our learners - it is everywhere and we should treat it as such. Have a look at the article.
