Strategy 10 - Movement

What strategies in this chapter appealed to you? How can you envision applying this strategy in your classroom?

Lynn Applying movement helps kids plant a pattern to their memory. For example. I have the kids stand up and face one direction then move 45 degrees south. Then we compare this to the angle 45 degrees (and the corner associated with angles). Then I ask them to move back to the beginning stance and move 90 degrees (facing the opposite direction). All of this can carry over to technology when they're manipulating a graphic and need to rotate it 90 degrees (or rotate it upside down or flip depending on which transformation I'm teaching). Topics have connected between angles and degrees, transformations, technology and it all started with movement.
