Learning Mathematics through Music:Music-Integrated Mathematics Teaching

This literature review looks into the effects of integrating music in mathematics teaching andhow it influences the problem solving ability. A systematic search for scientific articles was madeto investigate the research area. All together 13 scientific articles were chosen, which presentedvarious ways to integrate music in mathematics teaching and which had found different resultsin their studies. Generally, the articles presented positive effects of integrating music inmathematics teaching to develop students’ problem solving ability and mathematical learning.Similarities and differences between the presented articles were compared in the results of thisstudy, which showed common features in the characters of music and mathematics. In this study,problem solving is used in a wide definition which includes arithmetic, communication,reasoning and mathematical concept
