Integrating Writing with Mathematics and Technology:

Remember the multiple learning styles of students…some need a linguistic approach to mathematics in order to grasp the content and understand the operations involved in mathematics.

Holistic Teaching:

What can you do to approach teaching in this way? Theme classes Think about how you would understand the content Make learning fun Create units of study that encompass all content areas Work with other teachers
