A Mathematical Murmuration

We give a summary of a large group activity presented to primary school children as part of a STEAM (STEM plus The Arts) event. We describe the routine we demonstrated, this was based upon the tutting dance form, and the murmuration of starlings. Indeed, this demonstrates movement/dance as both a viable and engaging form of teaching mathematics.

Abstract

We give a summary of a large group activity presented to primary school children as part of a STEAM (STEM plus The Arts) event. We describe the routine we demonstrated, this was based upon the tutting dance form, and the murmuration of starlings. Indeed, this demonstrates movement/dance as both a viable and engaging form of teaching mathematics.
