Enriching Maths and Science Learning: an interdisciplinary approach

The IMS (Interdisciplinary Mathematics and Science) Learning project is an international, longitudinal project which aims to develop and investigate the effectiveness of an innovative interdisciplinary learning approach in mathematics and science. Working with primary schools in Australia and the United States of America (USA), it is investigating how students’ invention and transformation of representational systems can connect to support deeper reasoning and learning in both subjects.

The project is intended to inform interdisciplinary curricular designs that leverage students’ representational practices across the STEM disciplines to promote more robust and generative knowledge and practice.
