Mix It Up

The Science Teacher – February 2007

The word integration has many different meanings. Integration in science typically means making connections among the science disciplines. Integration of science and math usually means using math to teach science. The authors are calling the connections between science and math correlations as proposed by West and Tooke (2001) who suggest that teaching certain concepts in one discipline can enhance the understanding of specific concepts in the other discipline. However, the notion of correlation expands integration to create a lesson in which concepts from both disciplines are almost equally taught. This article provides suggestions for correlating science and math in the classroom.
