How does Math Trailblazers integrate mathematics with other content areas?
A. Rich contexts and diverse content offer unlimited opportunities for integration with other subject areas, particularly science and language arts. Connections to other subject areas are often highlighted in the teacher’s guides, but teachers who are looking for ways to integrate math with other subject areas will find many other opportunities to do so. The TIMS method also encourages teachers to quantify other areas of the curriculum, such as social studies. The extensive use of writing and other communication skills, the varied contexts that are used to explore mathematics, and the TIMS Adventure Books provide a solid start in connecting the mathematics in Math Trailblazers with language arts.
