The document describes a laboratory activity at an Italian elementary school involving folk dances and mathematics. Students learned traditional Italian folk dances that incorporated moving forward and back in a straight line. They also drew graphic representations of dance rhythms and worked on discriminating left from right through dance movements. Later activities had students dancing in circles and drawing the shapes they formed, with one student dancing in the center.
