Award Winning Kids Math DVD new innovative teaching tool
Tampa, FL (Nov. 30) - Only 43% of fourth graders
identified parallel and perpendicular lines according
to the 2009 Mathematics Report Card. The Award Winning
Exploracise Gymathtics DVD covers this concept within
the first few minutes of the program during the Shape
Stretches Warm Up where the parallel line stretch helps
kids learn the concept through kinesthetic, visual,
and auditory techniques. Perpendicular lines and
intersecting lines are also taught through visual and
auditory cues.

The 2009 Mathematics Report Card published by the
National Assessment of Educational Progress showed
that 61% of 4th graders are NOT proficient in math.
The scores actually stayed the same for 4th grade
from the 2007 scores and slightly improved for
the 8th grade scores.
"As a parent and very passionate educator, I was
shocked. We created the Gymathtics DVD to help
children learn and enjoy math while getting a
healthful 30-minute workout. I did not realize
how dire the challenges in math really are for
kids today," states Carrie Scheiner,
Exploramania Founder.
Last week, President Obama announced the "Educate
to Innovate" initiative to promote math and
science education for the future success of our
country. Several initiatives will bring science
and math education to the forefront through technology,
organizations, and volunteers. Exploramania is using
technology and the basic fact that kids watch TV to
teach math, exercise, and healthy lifestyle.
Exploramania is creating interactive educational
experiences to help children develop a love of learning
and healthy lifestyle. The Award Winning Exploracise
Gymathtics DVD was created as another tool to help
families, educators, and professionals combat the
obesity epidemic and math challenges that affect
so many children in America today. The program
uses multi-sensory techniques to teach math which
is proven to increase the retention and recall of
concepts.
Established in 2008, Exploramania is the brainchild
of Carrie Scheiner, a Tampa, FL resident, who
recognized the need for
fun interactive educational experiences enriching
the minds and bodies of children.
