• Math is defined as a group of related sciences, including
algebra, geometry, and calculus, concerned with the
study of number, quantity, shape, and space and their
interrelationships by using a specialized notation.
• Science is defined as a branch of knowledge or study
dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically
arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the
mathematical sciences.
3. IMPORTANCE OF MATH AND SCIENCE
Math and science provide many types of skills that people need:
• Math and science offer critical thinking skills.
-People have to be accustomed with the basic perceptions of science
and
mathematics, in order to think critically about the world and to make
informed

- Following a process or sequence of events.
• Math and science offer may types of trade skills important to some
workforces.
- As routine mechanical and clerical tasks become more

mathematics, and technology instruction.
4. ROLE OF MATH AND SCIENCE IN 21ST CENTURY
Our world, in terms of adaptation, is changing drastically.
Students and people, in general, need to be accustomed
with the basic notions that math and science provide. These
subjects can help better our country in many ways, but only
one is of great importance:
Math and science helps our country form the foundation
for innovation:
- science creates ideas that will help solve the problems that we, as
a country,
face
- to help solve problems with science, we must first understand
mathematics.

6. Charts and Graphs
Poster
During a math lesson in a
1st grade class, students
can each create a chart or
graph poster in order to
show how charts and
graphs are used and how
they work differently.
