    Tittle: Gesturing Gives Children New Ideas About Math

    Uploaded by

    This study examined how gestures affect children's learning of math concepts like addition. The experiment tested three conditions: gestures, no gestures, and partial gestures. Children who learned with gestures scored higher on post-tests than those in other conditions, showing that gestures can enhance math learning by engaging the body. However, the study did not include speech, so the impact of combining gestures and words requires further investigation.

    Gesturing Gives Children New Ideas About


    Math
    The purpose of this study was to show how
    gesture can enhance math performance. It
    was an experimental research study that
    looked at how gesture effects children’s
    learning of math, particularly addition. The
    independent variable was gesture with three
    different conditions; gesture, no gesture, and
    partial gesture. The dependent variable of the
    study was the difference between pre- and
    post- test scores on a math task.
    The lesson was where the independent
    variable change.Once the pre-test was graded,
    a lesson was given either with gesture that
    was grouping through two fingers, no gesture
    or a partial gesture which was just pointing.
    Once the lesson on the math was given, the
    post-test was given. The experimenters then
    determined a difference from pre- to post-
    tests scores.
    The major conclusion to this study was that
    the gesturing condition showed higher math
    scores than the partially correct which was
    higher than the no gesture condition, showing
    that the gesturing actually aided in the child
    remembering the math task by using their
    body to perform it.
    However in this study there was no speech
    within the lesson.Since this was the only
    speech, the lesson was highly dependent on
    the use of the gestures, which in my opinion
    could be questionable. The questions arise,
    should gesture be tested with more verbal
    instruction. Does the gesture give the same
    effect? One may also ask, does this relate to
    older or younger kids who are learning a
    different type of math?
    Summary
    Gesturing gives children new ideas about
    math. The purpose of this study was to show
    how gesture can help us improve math
    performance.
    The one of the major conclusion to this study
    was that the children with gesturing condition
    showed higher math scores than the partially
    correct which was higher than the no gesture
    condition, thus showing us that the gesturing
    actually aided in the child and remembering
    the math task by using their body to perform
    it.
