Initiative Description:  Physical Activity Integration Program for Mathematics through the EASY Minds program (Encouraging Activity to Stimulate Young Minds). Teachers from the intervention group were taught to embed movement-based learning in their students’ (n = 142) daily mathematics program in 3 lessons per week for 6 weeks.

Study results: The use of the EASY Minds program resulted in significant increases in MVPA and on-task student behavior.
