Positions in dance are comprised of movements, lines & postures. We explored the school grounds to create a map,created algorithms to follow to find key markers. The afternoon saw us using our bodies to communicate positional and directional language @StEunan @OLOLPrimaryWDC

Integrating music into math allows students to participate in maths in different ways than they would using pencil and paper. @rowan_gillespie @WDCNumeracySAC #creativemaths #musicalmaths

[WDC Creative Maths @WDCcreatemaths]

We created soundscapes to represent movement... it enabled children to be successful and shine reinforcing that ‘practice’ and effort can create success. Never give up guys!! Kyle K - what a wee star 🌟 @OLOLPrimaryWDC

[WDC Creative Maths @WDCcreatemaths]

Today we reinforced our understanding of fractions and ratios as these concepts relate easily to beats, rhythm, and keeping time. We also explored a variety of different instruments to represent movement. @rowan_gillespie @vonnie_32 @WDC_STEM @WDCNumeracySAC #creativemaths

"Music," wrote the great 17th-century German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz, "is the sensation of counting without being aware you were counting." @StEunan and St Stephen’s #creativemaths - creating sound to represent movement.
