Cross Curricular Integration


With so many expectations to address throughout the curriculum, it is important to plan and integrate as many cross curricular expectations within your math program. In doing so, students will be able to connect mathematics to all areas of their lives and not see it as a separate subject.

There are many ways to integrate math into other subject areas...here are just a few examples:
  • Mapping and Coordinate grids in Social Studies
  • Kaleidoscopes for Art and Transformational Geometry
  • Volume in Math and Science
  • Communication processes in Mathematics and Literacy Expectations
  • Create math videos to support Media Literacy, Oral, and Writing expectations
  • Phys. Ed and numbers - group according to numbers, math physical exercises
