Chez J Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Is there a curriculum that really integrates math with science? This would be for middle school/logic stage. Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Oh, also TOPS has a math program: http://topscience.org/books/math07.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Echoing the TOPS suggestion; not just the math units but all the units are very different from typical programs in their emphasis on data collection, graphing, and the use of formulas as the level gets higher. In fact at times I actually felt they overdid the math while letting conceptual exploration go, and they do not suggest supplementary reading or other ways of gaining that wider knowledge. But you could always read library books or other books on science in combination with the TOPS activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmoira Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 There's Life of Fred prealg, w/biology, but I don't know how he integrates the two.It's fun and self-contained, but I don't there's enough science there to call it science... it's all over the place.

kangato3 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 AIMS Education offers books which integrate science and math for all levels. I've only used their younger level books, but there are many offered for older students. www.aimsedu.org Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Life of Fred Pre-Alg. does. We're doing that this summer and is is more entertaining and light. I wouldn't consider it a full biology or math. It is throughly enjoyed by the girls though. Duke TIP has Math & the Cosmos as an independent course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
