Math in Motion

Grade level K–1

Location: William & Mary School of Education

Dates: July 1st-3rd
Price: $269

Time: 9:00 am - 3:00 PM

Course Length: 3 Days

Course Description:

High-ability learners thrive when their curiosity is met with challenge, creativity, and joy—and that’s exactly what Math in Motion delivers. This class introduces young children to early math concepts such as counting, sorting, patterns, shapes, and simple addition, while also laying the foundation for higher-level thinking.

Through movement, music, and playful hands-on activities, math becomes an adventure. Each session begins with a lively math story or song, then children dive into active learning stations like number hopscotch, clapping pattern games, and “make-a-shape” challenges.

By starting early, children strengthen both their math skills and problem-solving abilities—building the confidence and creativity they will need to tackle more advanced learning as they grow. And best of all? They will be having so much fun, they won’t even realize how much they are learning!

STEM into Science

If you are curious and passionate about the ocean, spend a week diving into oceanography! On the first day, you will discover the many early ocean explorers and their contributions to mapping the world, discovering seafloor features, and early oceanographic research on animals. Case studies of modern scientific expeditions and the fascinating careers available to you as a future oceanographer will also be a focus of our activities and discussions. Each successive day in Dive Into Oceanography will be a deep dive into one of the four disciplines of oceanography: geological, chemical, physical, and biological oceanography. Using many hands-on experiments and demonstrations, students will learn all about the geology of the seafloor, the chemistry of seawater, the mathematics of ocean physics, and the amazing life in the ocean - from the daily vertical migrations of the smallest plankton, the eyebrow-raising flying squids, and the sometimes strange, yet fascinating behaviors of whales!
