    The Simple Solution of Integrating Physical Activity in the Classroom

    Mounting evidence has revealed that increased physical activity reduces stress, improves concentration and enhances academic performance. Classroom teachers who have taken the steps to include physical activity throughout the day have found a marked improvement on all of the above, and can’t imagine not including physical activity every single day!

    Unfortunately, there are many classroom teachers that understand the need for physical activity breaks throughout the day, but just don’t know how to begin. In addition, there are others who feel that it’s too difficult to get students up and moving during the day, and it takes away from their already crammed academic schedule.

    The solution is introducing a simple resource that combines both physical activity and academic principals. Classroom teachers would then be much more likely to implement physical activity if it includes academic subjects they are already very familiar with. What resource is successful in making this happen? Be Fit 2 Learn Skillastics® Math

    The celebrated Skillastics® technique is now available in the classroom! With the expectation for classroom teachers to include physical activity into their daily instruction, this exciting resource makes it simple and easy by combining movement and cooperative learning with math content questioning.

    The central mat is smaller, which fits nicely in a classroom environment, 60 math questions are divided into four categories and customized for every grade level – grades 2 through 6. The detailed manual includes QR Codes of all 26 activities, making it easy to learn the activities in an organized manner.

    Any classroom teacher that implements Be Fit 2 Learn Skillastics® Math will be thrilled with the results. Students are able to get the much needed movement while increasing their time spent on math skills through a cooperative and active game.
