Crystal Villa; Rikki Marzan – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2025
To address the disconnect and bridge the gap between mathematics and science education, we developed interdisciplinary lessons and real-world applications by integrating Algebra 1 and Biology in a collaborative cohort model. We aim to improve student engagement, knowledge transfer, and performance on assessments in both disciplines. The…

Wasserman, Nicholas H.; Rossi, Dara – School Science and Mathematics, 2015
The recent trend to unite mathematically related disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) under the broader umbrella of STEM education has advantages. In this new educational context of integration, however, STEM teachers need to be able to distinguish between sufficient proof and reasoning across different disciplines,…

Park Rogers, Meredith A.; Volkmann, Mark J.; Abell, Sandra K. – Science and Children, 2007
Connections between science and mathematics seem natural. First, mathematics can be used in science to organize and analyze data in tables and graphs. Second, mathematics can help represent scientific phenomena and understand scientific concepts. Student learning should benefit when teachers make the connections between science and mathematics…
