Manipulatives/Gymnastics exam Flashcards
Translatory Motion? Example?
Motion through a continuing plane at a constant rate, locomotor movement
Rotatory Motion? Example?
Movement about or around a central point, body rotating around the bar on a hip circle
Longitudinal Motion? Example?
Runs the length of the object, log roll or twisting skater
Transverse Motion? Example?
Runs across the object at any level in its entire length, cartwheel
Six area of conditioning?
Cardiovascular, strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, plyometrics/explosive power
Sagittal Motion? Example?
Axis outside of the body/different plane, arm circles or forward roll
Cardiovascular examples?
Jumping jacks, running, jump roping
Strength examples?
Push-ups, pull ups, leg lifts
Flexibility examples?
Splits, back bends, trunk stretch
Coordination examples?
Walking in backbend position, inside outs, swan exercise
Balance examples?
Balanced handstand, V-Seat, leg lifts
Plyometrics/explosive power examples?
Standing long jump, frog jump, tuck jump
12 manipulatives?
Whiffle balls, hockey, frisbees, football, scarves, parachute, bean bag, fluff ball, jump rope, tennis ball, hula hoop, streamers
Manipulatives?
Movement with equipment
5 teaching techniques?
Attitude, Enthusiasm, Preparedness, Lack of bias, Ask for questions
Importance of Attitude in teaching?
It is important to like teaching and like children; a positive attitude “rubs off” onto the class
Importance of Enthusiasm in teaching?
Being enthusiastic will help create enthusiasm from the students; an enthusiastic teacher can make almost anyone like almost any activity
Importance of Preparedness in teaching?
A lesson must be well planned to prevent failure, always plan more than you think you will use for flexibility and variety, gains respect
Importance of Lack of Bias in teaching?
Allows everyone to feel seen, be fair and impartial, be fair with discipline and task assigning, use gender equity
Importance of Asking for Questions?
After explaining and showing, be sure to clear up any misunderstandings; allows students to feel comfortable to speak up
Range?
Size or amplitude of movement (diminutive to expansive)
Level?
Height of movement (low, transitional, high)
Focus?
The point to which attention is drawn by movement
Direction?
Orientation in space; the point toward which on is moving. Seven directions (forward, backward, sideward, diagonal, circular, up, and down)
Movement of a mass?
Unison (everyone moves together), opposition (movements are in opposite directions), succession (movement done one after the other)
Main teaching methods?
Traditional, squad, and exploratory
What is the traditional method?
Stunts or skills are done as an entire group, all are instructed the same set of skills, for beginners and allows close supervision
What is the squad method?
Stations, groups practice skills in different areas at one time, supervision decreases, includes “squad leader”
What is the exploratory method?
Students go INDEPENDENTLY to any station they wish, “squad leader” checks off skills for student, uses checklists or charts to ensure mastery, most difficult to monitor
3 types of squad skill practice?
Fixed (squads stay at station for the entire class), rotating (squads go to each stations for a several minutes), choice (students choose where they go for stations but move as a group)
