Here is a brief example lesson in counting and quantities to understand how each learning style benefits:

Student(s) march across the room in a pattern of 8 marching steps, then pause to begin again - while taking each step they speak one number and clap once.

Analysis
The auditory learners hear the numbers counted out loud, and hear one clap for each number/march step.

The visual learners that are observing the participants are watching the student move in the pattern.

The kinesthetic learners understand the meaning of the quantity 8 by moving one marching step per number, pausing, then repeating the pattern.
