Abstract [eng] This article substantiates nontraditional attitude towards children’s (4–6 years) choreographic activities in preschool education institutions. Pedagogical experiment is performed and it is demonstrated how during choreographic classes it is possible to develop children’s mathematical abilities. The basis of experimental model – transformation of children’s kinesthetic experience into cognitive which allows conveying concrete mathematical abilities. Understanding choreographic activities as a social game, children are motivated to express verbal mathematic images through movements. Conditions, where children may manipulate their bodies in space as mathematical objects prevailing orientation of activities to relevant art activities as means of expression, are created. Such experience determines child’s need not only for choreographic activities but also for expression of mathematical abilities. Pedagogical experiment illustrates how during the change of child’s physical position in the space the experience context of choreographic activities transforms into mathematical. Under these conditions child may better understand applied essence of choreographic activities and coherent child’s social development is pursued.
