Integration of Mathematics and Science: Doing It Correctly for Once

The cry for the integration of mathematics and science is a result of American students’ results on international exams. Literature that advocates this integration of science and math n the United States dates actually back to before the 20th century. Berlin and White (1999) reported that the first article about integrating science and mathematics was published in 1905. If we want to improve the learning of students in mathematics and science, good mathematics teachers should have the freedom to develop strategies that will allow students to construct their understanding of mathematics in their mental frames of reference. Likewise, science teachers should be able to connect the appropriate mathematics links to their program. Effective use of mathematics in science will strengthen each discipline and allow the learners to link for themselves the “language” and description of the universe
