The Measurement and Meaning of Landmarks: Integrating Social Studies and Math in Fifth Grade Lessons
Widdall, Valerie; Alqahtani, Muteb; Kraly, Thomas
Social Studies and the Young Learner, v31 n1 p26-32 Sep-Oct 2018
In many elementary classrooms nationwide, less and less time is spent on social studies. Lack of attention to social studies is evident in states like New York where teacher evaluations are contingent on students' performance on two subjects: English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics. In this article, the authors describe their experience integrating social studies and mathematics in a fifth grade classroom. The authors strove to provide elementary educators with a lesson integration model that uses historical investigation as a vehicle for learning other subjects such as mathematics.
