Ruiz, Elsa C.; Thornton, Jenifer Salter; Cuero, Kimberley K. – School Science and Mathematics, 2010
The integration of content areas is not a new concept (Moyer, 2000). Integration is promoted by many teacher educators because of its benefits for learners of all ages and backgrounds (Burns, 2005; Douville, Pugalee, & Wallace, 2003; Pica, 2002). Literacy in general, but reading in particular, is important across the content areas. Mathematics…
