Children Exploring Mathematical Concepts through Body Movement

26 July 2017

Hello! We are inviting children between the ages of 6 and 10 to take part in activities at University College London where we explore how children learn mathematical concepts, such as angles, and lines of symmetry and reflection transformations of shapes, by exploring these concepts through their body movement and gestures in game-based activities designed based on the national curriculum. The study is part of a larger research project called weDraw (wedraw.eu) funded by the EU community.
