Math is another language. Children are receptive to languages. Suzy Koontz, the author of the Math and Movement Training Manual, believes that unless we include more math for children in pre-school through grade four, we are missing a crucial window of opportunity in the lives of our young children.

The Math&Movement program described in this book allows children to learn through movement and visually pleasing floor mats and other math products. Math concepts become accessible to young children. The depth of understanding acquired in play-like activities will serve as a base for later construction of more advanced concepts. 

The intent of Math and Movement is not to create a push-down curriculum but rather to allow children to experience math success before they have developed any “math phobias,” or any hint that math is hard!

The book is organized into the following ten sections: 

• The Benefits of Math and Movement
• Active Math—Whisper/Loud Movements
• Active Math—Skip Counting Movements 
• Sit-Down Math 
• Tapping at the Table 
• Math ‘n Yoga 
• Suggested Activities for the Math and Movement Floor Mats and Banners 
• Implementing Math and Movement into the Day 
• Extensions of the Math and Movement program 

The training manual is geared toward math educators in the early grades.
