Math on the Move reminds us that the body is a thinking tool and that math is about more than memorization. In the book Malke illustrates the amazing learning that happens when the body and math come together in both dance and non-dance settings. This blog is about getting started with whole-body math learning, including specific “first steps” in bringing math off the page and into our learners’ bodies.
