Active Arithmetic!: Movement and Mathematics Teaching in the Lower Grades of a Waldorf School

Making math a meaningful and memorable event in a young child's life is all important. This book will help you to do it! All recent brain development illustrates that movement is the key to a rich and fully developed skill set in children. Music and rhythm have been shown to light up the whole brain and to help children understand and apply complex math concepts. The many ideas, imaginative games and activities described by this experienced Waldorf teacher hold the key to "Aha!" moments for comprehending important math ideas.
