Beliefs about the active, bodily experience mathematics learning activities: an explorative teacher survey in Australia

The exploratory study combined an online survey and interviews with Australian primary and secondary mathematics teachers to examine their views on Active, Bodily experience Mathematics learning activities. The research sought to identify teachers’ expectations, challenges, and limitation for their implementation. Initial results indicate teachers recognise the value of such activities in deepening students’ understanding and increasing engagement but encounter obstacles such as time constraints, insufficient resources, and difficulties in managing the classroom, underscoring the need for further investigation into effectively incorporating these activities into teaching practices.
