ASSEMBLIES
– Musical Math –
Phil uses world drum rhythms to teach and reinforce math facts: doubles &
doubles + 1, skip counting, and multiplication.
He begins by showing the students how to clap their math facts with drum rhythms from Latin America (Phil offers separate primary and intermediate presentations with appropriate grade-level content).
Using popular Boomwhacker tubes and his Indonesian xylophone, Phil shows how the same fractions of length are used to make music in Indonesia, Mexico, China, Ghana, and the Caribbean!
Throughout the program, Phil also shows students his mindfulness breathing exercises for emotional balance, focused listening, and successful learning.
Finally,
Phil gives your teachers and students a free downloadable CD with all of his
math facts tracks to practice at home and school.
Then, they join together to form a giant drum circle featuring rhythms from West Africa, Brazil, Japan, and Indonesia!
