Abstract

The ‘Dancing with Mathematics’ workshop includes a variety of hands-on educational activities that combine these two seemingly incompatible disciplines through motion-capture technologies. A heterogeneous group of researchers with diverse academic backgrounds and expertise, that collaborate in the HORIZON-WIDERA project ‘TransEET’ (Transforming Education with Emerging Technologies) has: first, extended two digital technologies widely used for mathematics education (GeoGebra and MaLT2) with motion-capture technologies for embodied interaction; and then, co-developed the ‘Dancing with Mathematics’ pilot educational activities connecting dance and mathematics for different grades. In the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to engage in an innovative learning experience of using their bodies to express mathematical concepts for creating dancing animations. The workshop aims to collect feedback from the arts-related community to feed the redesign phase of the resources for the main phase of the TransEET project and discuss sustainable ways to support arts integration in the main body of school disciplines.
