Chelsea Grant

2. Definition
 Math is the study of the measurement, properties,
and relationships of quantities and sets, using
numbers and symbols.
 Science is the systematic study of nature and the
behavior of materials and the physical universe,
based on observation, experiment, and
measurement, and the formulation of laws to
describe these facts in general terms.

3. Importance
 Math and science serve a major importance in life. Both
of these are everywhere you go. Every second there
are millions of scientific reactions going on in the world.
It is important to understand the concept of science and
how the world around us works. . Math is also a huge
part of science as well as other aspects of life. Things
such as cooking, music, even shopping all involve
math.

4. How it applies to 21st Century
Education
 21st Century Learning consists of core subjects, pillars, and
themes that involve certain skills. 1. Mastery of core subjects. In
the case of math and science connected by interdisciplinary
themes such as global awareness and financial literacy
 Math and Science are two of the core subjects that students need
in order to be successful in the 21st century. Math and Science
teach students basic problem solving skills that are necessary for
success in today’s world.
 Technology helps educators expand learning styles to students to
get the most out of the learning experience. The information is
better understood to the student through technology.

5. Examples!
 FaceBook- create group pages for lab groups to join and post about their lab reports.
 Twitter- follow scientists and learn facts!
 Blogs- students can be given a problem (either math or science) to solve. Once the
problem is solved they can blog about how they arrived at their answer.
 WebQuest- Students can explore astronomy, the water cycle, and many other scientific
processes through webquest. In my unit plan, the students did a webquest in which they
used interactive maps which showed them the different climates and things such as the
average temperature, rainfall, and other things.
 YouTube-Students can watch videos on different ways to solve a math problem. Or
videos on whatever scientific subject they are learning about.Students could also be
given a research project on the water cycle and be asked to create their own YouTube
video.
