THE INTEGRATION OF MATHEMATICS IN OTHER SUBJECTS

 Math can easily be integrated into

INTEGRATION WITH MATH every subject.

 In general, the integration of math and
reading creates a relevant context for the
formal and abstract mathematical
processes.

READING

M.K.1
Count to 100 by ones and by tens.
 Grades 3-5
WORD PROBLEMS
READING
Crossword Puzzles
M.K.2 WRITING
Count forward beginning from a given number within
the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).

M.1.6
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for
addition and subtraction within 10 and use strategies
such as
•counting on;
•making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14);
•decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 =
13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9);
•using the relationship between addition and
subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows
12 – 8= 4); and
•creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g.,
adding 6 +7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 +
1 = 12 + 1 = 13).

M.1.19
Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles
are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining
attributes (e.g., color, orientation, and/or overall size);
build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.

M.1.17
Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog
Math Journal
WRITING

ELA.2.20
Write opinion pieces by introducing the topic or
text being discussed, stating an opinion,
supplying reasons that support the opinion, using
linking words (e.g., because, and, or also) to
connect opinion and reasons, and providing a
concluding statement or section.
 SCIENCE

M 5.8 Fluently multiply multi-digit whole

numbers using the standard algorithm.
Slime Shop: Engineer Your Own
Slime SCIENCE

S.5.GS.4
Students will conduct an investigation to
determine whether the mixing of two or more
substances results in new substances.
Art Store
M.2.21
ART
Solve word problems involving dollar bills,
quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $
and ¢ symbols appropriately (e.g., If you have Paint by Numbers
2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do
you have?).
M.K.3
Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a
number of objects with a written numeral 0-20
(with 0 representing a count of no objects).
Patterns
MUSIC

MU.3-5.14
Create rhythmic and melodic
ideas based on varied music
forms.
M.3.9
Identify arithmetic patterns (including
patterns in the addition table or multiplication
table) and explain those using properties of
operations (e.g., observe that 4 times a
number is always even and explain why 4
times a number can be decomposed into two
equal addends).
Instant Activity
PHYSICAL EDUCATION

M.3.1
Interpret products of whole
numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7
as the total number of objects in
5 groups of 7 objects each (e.g.,
describe context in which a total
number of objects can be
expressed as 5 × 7).
