Interdisciplinary Teaching- This blog was started as a way of using journals and games in physical education class to enhance and connect the learning in math, language arts and science. Now that I am a science teacher I am finding ways to use physical activity to connect the learning in physical science.

Reviewing percentage, multiplication, division, adding, subtraction and money with running exercises

Today we divided the field into quarters. The students were instructed to run a quarter of the way, half the way, three quarters of the way and 100 percent of the way. We then combined activities such as bear crawl 50% of the way and run 50 percent of the way. We would shift between percent and quarters.
We also have been using math skills such as adding, subtracting, multiplication and division when we run. for example i will say we are going to hop like a bunny for 10x1, they will get a couple of seconds think time and execute the move.
