Abstract
The aim of this study is to find out how the mathematics activities linked to outdoor movement activities affect children's motor abilities. S kindergarten located in Gyeonggido do conducted a fifteen week program for young children aged five years. In this study, young children's motor perfromenace test scale of Ji Sungae(2007) was conducted. Each area consists of a five-point scale. There were a total of thirty-three questions. pre-tests and post-tests were performed for young children's motor performance. t-test was used. As a result of this study, it was found that mathematics activities in connection with outdoor movement activities had a positive effect on the improvement of overall exercise ability, non-movement exercise ability, and mobility exercise ability of young children. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that various programs for young children integrated with outdoor motor activities will be developed and applied to the site.
