Learning isn't a passive activity for today's students. With the new RM Easiteach Dance Mat content pack your students will dance their way to a greater understanding and concept retention in a whole range of subjects.

The RM Easiteach Dance Mat works like a keyboard, sending signals to the computer it is connected to when a student steps on the mat. For instance,students are instructed to add to one thousand. They are shown the number 454 on an interactive white board or computer screen and then jump on the numbers five, four and six (546) on their Dance Mats. Each Dance Mat question gets progressively more challenging, making Dance Mat activities fun, fast-paced and highly educational.

The RM Easiteach Dance Mat Content Pack is compatible with RM Easiteach v3.2or later versions. You can use it with the whole class, small groups or single students. Dance Mat activities can be used for lesson openers, plenaries, review or as a reward activity. They are fun for anyone, but particularly appropriate for active or kinesthetic learners. If you don't have access to the dance mat hardware, the activities can easily be used with a mouse, whiteboard pen, keyboard, or other input device.

Dance mats are mats with pressure-sensitive pads that act as switches. Stepping on a pad sends a signal to the computer, just like pressing a key on the keyboard. These signals interact with the dance mat software, rewarding the player for correct choices. The RM Easiteach Dance Mat is supplied with the software and also comes with a USB adapter.
