Math and reading comprehension

through theatre? Yep, you read that right! 🎭 Across our partner schools, teachers are using the drama strategy of tableau to bring their curriculum to life. Here are some grade-level ideas for incorporating it: 💛 First graders use tableau to figure out an unknown in a subtraction/addition problem. 💛 Third graders pull theme and main idea from a text they're reading and build a tableau to represent it. 💛 Fourth graders take a decimal number and then create a tableau to express it as a fraction. 💛 And fifth graders review a chapter, then recreate its key events in tableau, incorporating characterization and dialogue along the way. Same strategy, endless ways to use it. This is what arts integration looks like in practice! If you're wondering where to start when integrating the arts in your classroom, check out our free resources library via the link in bio! #ArtsNOW #artsintegrated #artsintegratedlearning #artsintegrationworks #teachersofinstagram
