MATH MAT AND SPELLING MAT

Kindergarten and schools can playfully introduce movement with purpose into writing and math lessons and subsequently incorporate the latest findings in neuroscience.

SCIENCE BEHIND MATH MAT AND SPELLING MAT

Children spend 75% of their waking hours sitting. Neuroscience is telling a different story.

  • Exercise grows new brain cells. This process is called neurogenesis. (Gage)
  • There is a neural connection between the cerebellum and the prefrontal cortex. A short exercise may already improve cognitive performance. (Budde)
  • Exercise may improve mood, learning and brain function. (Ratey)
  • Vigorous exercise may improve behaviour, mental focus and memory retention with ADHD students. (Wendt)
  • Memory retrieval is better when learned through movement. (Jensen)

MATH MAT in SPELLING MAT help to teach math, spelling, writing, word formation and punctuation skills through movement by achieving positive effects on children’s brain, learning and memory retention.
