Starting from these results, in weDRAW we develop a multisensory technology and three serious games that will exploit the best modality for learning arithmetic and geometrical concepts.

Arithmetic and geometry are at the foundation of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. They are universally included in primary school programs, using commonly a teaching approach that is primarily based on the visual modality. However, the crucial arithmetical and geometrical concepts (e.g., counting, measuring distances) are heavily grounded on other modalities (audition, touch) and naturally linked to artistic expressions. The relationships of crucial components of music such as pitch and mel

The adoption of an embodied and enactive learning paradigm allows to apply the same learning paradigm to both typically developed and impaired children, thus reducing differences and barriers. Enactive knowledge is not simply multisensory mediated knowledge, but knowledge stored in the form of motor responses and acquired by the act of doing. A typical example of enactive knowledge is the competence required by tasks such as typing, driving a car, dancing, playing a musical instrument, and modelling objects
