Yoga's Flexibility in Math

Abstract

Whether using yoga as a physical activity break in a math class or measuring postural alignments and shapes in the gym, yoga and mathematics can complement each other. This article focuses on elementary school standards and outcomes of physical education and math, to help teachers use yoga as a math literacy tool.

Notes

Readers are encouraged to send “Educator's Corner” submissions to Strategies Managing Editor Thomas Lawson at [email protected].

The purpose to the Strategies column “Educator's Corner” is to feature short articles about one specific, practical teaching lesson that practitioners at the K–12 level can immediately implement in their classroom. Articles focus on either health or physical education and contain a brief introduction, followed by very practical, quick-hitting information such as bullet points or lists. Submissions should not exceed 1,000–1,500 words (or roughly four typed, double-spaced pages).
