Why is cross-curricular work so valuable in the mathematics
classroom? Why can pupils sometimes draw graphs in mathematics but
not in science? What might mathematics teachers learn from the
performing arts? Cross-curricular approaches have much to offer the
modern mathematics classroom. They can help teachers to present
mathematics as a growing, relevant discipline that is central to
much of modern life, and help learners to make sense of what they
are doing and why. New contexts, new technology and new
qualifications all make this an exciting time to be a
cross-curricular teacher of mathematics. But cross-curricular
approaches are not always straightforward. Skills do not always
transfer easily from one subject area to the other, and a number of
important decisions have to be made. How should this type of work
be planned, or assessed? How might it fit into the wider
curriculum? Are all cross-curricular activities equally useful for
learners? Does mathematics have something to share with all of the
other curriculum areas? This book tackles these issues head on,
combining educational theory and contemporary research with
practical ideas and suggestions. From the mathematics of molecular
geometry, wind turbines and impact craters to mathematical haikus,
Babylonian clay tablets and juggling, each chapter is packed with
examples for use in the secondary classroom. Key features include:
Discussion of key issues and debates Case studies to show you how
others have used cross-curricular approaches A wide range of
examples and practical activities to help you develop your own
practice Example approaches for planning and assessment Part of the
Cross-Curricular Teaching and Learning in the Secondary School
series, this book is essential reading for all students on Initial
Teacher Training courses and practising teachers looking to
holistically introduce cross-curricular themes and practices into
their mathematics teaching.
