Cirriculum Integration

I have to be honest, this is how I want to teach. When I first started out in the Education program here at UMF I always had difficulties thinking of ways to integrate other subjects into mathematics. Since this has been a big discussion in a lot of our EDU classes I'm always thinking of different ways to integrate other subjects into mathematics. For example the other day we were talking about the history of Geometry in MAT 320: History of Mathematics, and I actually day dreamed about how I could use this as a teacher when I'm teaching a unit on proofs in Geometry.

I would really like to do an Integrated Classroom with someone else like we saw in the video that Eileen and Steve showed us during their presentation. I would like this because like I said earlier I do have difficulties trying to put other subjects into math but if I was working with another teacher I think that would be awesome and like they always say, "Two heads are better than one".

Another point I've thought about it how you don't need to integrate your entire curriculum but projects dealing with other classes are awesome ideas. But I agree with the point that Eileen and Steve made was don't make it over-whelming to your students. A good way to start it is by making them individual projects for each class with out the students knowing that there is a theme with the other teachers, then kind of guide them into the bigger project. Start off small for something that could be really big.
