I Integrating Science and Mathematics
Integrating Science and Mathematics
Many educators from around the United States have began to support and understand the connection between math and sciences and how important it is to integrate the two in their classroom lesson plans. These teachers understand how integrating math and science
This can create great efficiency in their teaching method. The educator are teaching the two subject with the understanding that their student’s real life is not divided into subjects, so how will this effect the way their students learn best. Would separation be seen as the artificial divisions that students are given in school? Does the separation have a negatively affect on their student’s efficiency. Math and science for years have been taught separate knowing how to employ the integration of math and science is not always an easy task for educators to connect. Once the educator understands their students’ point of view and follows them this is the key to integrating math and science this will allow the students to solve problems and think critically. Educators have to provide quality to ensure students’ level of learning and understanding, the methods that the teachers use in their teaching strategies is highly dependent upon their students’ knowledge and application in the classroom. Teachers need to in preparing their students of today for a successful tomorrow individuals, mathematic and science teachers need to ensure that their teaching is effective. When educator have the training and knowledge needed of how students learn science and mathematics and how best to teach this will create a positive learning experience when the two subjects are integrated ( mathematic & science ). One major concern when science and mathematic is being integrated is the way teachers will teach the two this is a continuing professional concern. Educators will have to make the efforts to direct the presentation of science and mathematics lessons In an era dominated by
