Activ8: The Big Dance Number has been designed to complement Key Stage 2 Dance and Numeracy provision in schools. Essentially, it is Dance through Maths and Maths through Dance. It comprises a teaching manual and accompanying Compact Disc containing specially composed musical tracks.
Activ8: The Big Dance Number provides numerous creative, performance and evaluative opportunities. It uses practical activities to bring Maths alive and is meant to provide pupils with a fun, imaginative and challenging learning experience.
As you work through the book, pupils will participate in a number of practical activities. Some of these activities will form part of The Big Dance Number performance work. This is an ensemble piece that is suitable for performance in assemblies and end of year productions. A Performance Certificate is provided at the back of the book for schools to award to participants in this performance work.
Activ8: The Big Dance Number resource combines rhymes, pictures, puzzles and practical problem solving to fulfill the requirements of the Physical Education and Maths National Curriculum 2000. It brings everything together in a 67 page teaching manual with photocopiable pages and a complementary music CD, so you won't have to scramble around looking for appropriate music.
The majority of activities in this resource are appropriate for all years within this key stage. Although, it is advisable to ensure that pupils are aware of the appropriate mathematical principles prior to commencing some of the activities. As you work through the book you may wish to separate the activities into specific year groups. Teachers can determine how much time to allocate to each task, activity or area of study.
