Engaging children and parents in physically active maths sessions.

Recognising the potential positive effects of physical activity in children, and the importance of motivation and engagement in mathematics, the social enterprise Numberfit and researchers from UCL have designed a programme that combines physically active games with mathematics learning We present the design principles of a platform that enables children (and their parents) to undertake parts of this programme remotely The platform has been designed taking into account the particular constraints of the \u0027lockdown\u0027 during the COVID-19 pandemic In particular, we aim to keep children physically active during the lockdown and encourage parental engagement while leaving some space to attend their other duties during these challenging times © 2020 Owner/Author
