Math and Exercise

November 17, 2015 By Jennifer Lambert 1 Comment

We did the most fun activity in math rather than just doing worksheets or workbooks.

We combined exercise and math with a lesson on distance, rate, and time.

This is perfect for kinesthetic learners and we all had lots of fun.

We did several physical activities with a timer.

I just used my stopwatch and timer on my iPhone.

We chose a few easy activities that even little brother could do with us.

This was based off a lesson in our Singapore math workbook.

Measuring Time

We counted how many times we could jump rope in 1 minute.

Measuring Rate

We saw how many times we could draw triangles or write a phrase in 1 minute.

Drawing Fast

We timed our sprints to see who was fastest.

I just guessed how far it was from the curb to the table. It certainly wasn’t 100 meters, but it was fine for our methods!

Then we ran a few more times and did averages.

How Fast

We discussed distance=rate times time or d=rt.

This is a bit advanced for my kids, ages 5, 8, and 9. My girls are just getting into multiplication. But they will remember we did this in a couple years when we begin algebra and physics in our studies.

We enjoyed being outside for school and doing a fun activity rather than just book work.

I made a fun notebooking page to go along with our activities.
