On January 29, we had a lesson on fractions. We enjoyed making shapes and moving in different ways with only fractions of our bodies. At one point in the lesson we had to vibrate fractions of our body and add to them until our whole body was vibrating. It was tough to add and reduce fractions and vibrate our whole bodies at the same time, but it was great to both see in others and feel in ourselves fractions adding. Their dances at the end were exceptionally good because all the dances showed an advanced knowledge of how to use fractions within their bodies and with each other. They put a lot of thought into the fractions they used in their dances and it was excellent.
Here half the class is making a shape with the whole of their body. Notice the excitement and energy that they have with performing for their peers.
Here is one of the dances. The students are getting ready to hit a shape where a fraction of them are doing one thing and the other another thing.
