Multiplicación en Movimiento! Spanish Immersion, Creative Times Tables (Waldorf)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

🔢 Are you looking for a FUN way to memorize the times tables while being immersed in Spanish?

This course will provide children with tools which they will WANT to use repeatedly to practice multiplication. Through hands-on activities and movement, they will integrate the process of memorizing the times tables in their heads, hearts and hands!

👓 This is a SELF-PACED class with NO live meetings. Your learner will be engaged through a variety of activities. There are five video lessons of approximately 30 minutes each and accompanying printouts to work with during or after class. You can advance at your own pace. The entire course is taught in Spanish by a Spanish native speaker (more info below).

🌟 "Multiplicación en Movimiento" brings math to life - in Spanish! 🤸‍♀️ The goal of this course is to help young students establish a deeper understanding of the times tables and the patterns found in them. Students will follow the story of Porfirio ✖ POR and Tomás ➕ MÁS – the embodiments of multiplication and addition. Storytelling helps children comprehend fundamental math concepts while having fun.

🤹 Each class, students will stand up and move to the rhythm of skip counting. They will chant, clap and stomp the times tables, and use a small ball/hacky sack to coordinate their motor skills. By involving their whole body, children feel invigorated and awake. The course offers a multisensory learning experience to help students understand math from different perspectives.

🌈 Students will use their imagination to link the rhythmic quality of the times tables to the movement of animals. Students will use crayons to create symmetrical art known in Waldorf schools as “form drawing.” Benefits of form drawing include improved spatial orientation, visual tracking, a sense of balance and enhanced attention to detail. Short stories of animals and characters will accompany each drawing. We will use number circles (printouts are provided) to link geometry to the patterns found in multiplication tables. Students will be surprised to see the beauty behind numbers.
