  ABSTRACT: Music and movement is one of the element commonly used in the teaching and learning process in preschool. The purpose of this case study is to explore the use of the music and movement element in the teaching of mathematics in preschool. Purposive sampling was used in the qualitative study. Four teachers from four preschools were selected as participants for this study. The results showed that the use of the music and movement element helped attract children’s focus and attention, enhance understanding as well as enrich children’s emotion and behavior development. The implication of this study is that preschool teachers should vary their teaching approaches by incorporating the use of the music and movement in their mathematics instruction. Consequently, music and movement are seen to be beneficial including helpattract children’s attention and interest, improve children’s understandingand build children’s emotional development.
