Gayle Conigliaro's preschool students are jumping as they count, 
    to get the feeling of the numbers into their bodies — a concept 
    called "embodied cognition."

My 4 year-old learned all about circles by spinning round and round. Math makes her just giddy with excitement! She can't calculate circumference yet, but that doesn't matter, because I feel confident that she has embodied the cognition. I'm taking her to the playground tomorrow so she can do line integrals on the monkey bars.

Can we bring back the scowling school-marms now?
