Geometry in Motion: Exploring Math Through Dance

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞!

What do 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬, and 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 have to do with dance? More than you might think! In this class, learners explore how 𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲, creating visually stunning patterns and formations. They’ll connect mathematical concepts like 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲, 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬, and 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 to the 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞."

From identifying 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬 in pliés to choreographing with 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬 and 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬, each lesson blends math and movement in creative and meaningful ways, revealing how geometry shapes dance both literally and artistically.

Our classrooms are guided by a Socratic teaching approach, fostering critical thinking and encouraging open dialogue among learners. By facilitating engaging discussions and posing thought-provoking questions, students are able to explore topics more deeply and gain a comprehensive understanding of the material. 

Our class size does not exceed 5 learners. This allows for more personalized attention from the educator, ensuring that each learner's individual needs and learning styles are met. With a smaller group size, there is also more opportunity for discussion and collaboration among classmates, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. Additionally, students may feel more comfortable and confident participating in discussions and activities in a smaller group setting.

We incorporate a mix of traditional methods such as videos and limited PowerPoint presentations to accommodate various learning styles as well. 

In addition, we gamify our lessons, as much as possible, to make learning fun and interactive for students. By adding elements of games and competition, we are able to keep learners engaged and motivated to participate in their education.

We also incorporate hands-on projects, wherever possible, to provide students with real-world application of their learning. Through these projects, students are able to apply their knowledge in practical ways and further enhance their understanding of the subject matter.
By designing this type of diverse classroom environment, utilizing multiple teaching methods, we effectively address the diverse learning styles of our learners.
