DISCIPLINE

 OBJECTIVES
Provides a deeper
understanding of content.
Encourages active
participation relevant real-
life experiences.

Provides connections
among various curricular
disciplines.
Focuses on basic skills,
content, and higher level
thinking
Integrated Curriculum
An integrated curriculum is described as one that connects
different areas of study by cutting across subject matter lines and
emphasizing unifying concepts.
 Benefits of Teaching with
Integrated Curriculum

Focuses on basic skills, content, Encourages active participation in Accommodates a variety of

and higher-level thinking, which relevant real-life experiences, so learning styles, theories, and

is a dire necessity for the modern- that the educators can utilise them multiple intelligences, which can
day educators later when they start teaching cater to the development of the
overall teaching-learning
procedure in the future.
 MATH AND MUSIC

Mathematics is used in music theory and

composition, including concepts like
rhythm, harmony, and fractal patterns.
 MATH AND SCIENCE
•Measurement and Units: Use
science experiments to teach students
about units of measurement, such as
meters, grams, and liters.
•Graphing and Data Analysis: Have
students collect and analyze data
from experiments, then create graphs
and interpret the results.
 MATH AND HISTORY
•Timeline Math: Use timelines to
teach concepts of elapsed time, years,
and centuries.
•Historical Statistics: Analyze
historical data, such as population
growth, economic trends, or battles,
to teach statistical concepts.
 MATH AND ART
•Symmetry and Patterns: Explore
symmetry and patterns in art to teach
geometry and algebraic concepts.
•Proportions and Ratios: Study the
Golden Ratio and other mathematical
principles in art.
 MATH AND PHYSICAL
EDUCATION
•Statistics and Averages: Use sports
statistics to teach students about
averages, percentages, and graphs.
•Measurement: Measure and record
physical attributes, like distance,
time, and speed, during physical
activities.
 MATH AND LANGUAGE
•Word Problems: Create word
problems based on literary texts to
engage students in storytelling and
math.
•Analyze Data in Literature: Use
data analysis to explore themes,
character relationships, and more in
literature.
When integrating math into different subject
areas, it's essential to align the mathematical
concepts with the curriculum and learning
goals of both the math and non-math subjects.
Encourage students to see the connections
between mathematics and the world around
them, fostering a deeper understanding and
appreciation of math as a practical tool for
solving real-life problems.
