Math while Moving - ABA Sequencing

These 2 lessons in sequencing use the ABA model. Repeat a new sequence as often as necessary. As with all the lessons in this series it is for all 3 learning styles - auditory, visual and kinesthetic.

Lesson 1. Beginning ABA sequencing

A = 4 walks forward.
B = 4 walks backward.
A = 4 walks forward.

Preparation: Divide the students into 2 or more groups. One group moves and the rest observe.

The moving students stand in a group in the center of room facing teacher at front of room; students remaining facing forward throughout.

Teacher counts the numbers out loud, and uses claps hands or a rhythm instrument. One count per walking step.

First students practice A and B separately; then the ABA sequence.

For further practice, the teacher then calls out either A or B and the students do that pattern.

Example: Even if the students have just heard A and walked forward 4 times, if the teacher calls out A a second time, the students again take 4 steps forward.

Lesson 2. More advanced ABA sequencing

A = 4 walks forward; 4 walks backward.
B = 4 skips forward facing forward; then turn to face the back of room and skip 4 times toward the back of the room.
A = 4 walks forward; 4 walks backward.

Preparation: The moving group of students stand together in the center of room facing teacher at front of room.

Teacher counts the numbers out loud and uses clapping or a rhythm instrument. One count per walk, march or skip.

First students practice A and B separately.

Next, teacher determines the order of the A and B sequences; students memorize the order from following the teacher's oral direction.

More examples with this sequence:
A-B-A-B
A-A-B-B
A-A-B-B-A-A
