Timeline Project Activity

As an interdisciplinary collaboration, the Math and English department worked together on a project. In their English class, Grade 7 students researched important turning points in human history and ordered them chronologically. This chronology was turned into a number line to relate it to the integer topic of their Math class. Students then also used important events from their personal lives and related the resulting negative and positive integers to real life. During this project, students developed research and thinking skills.
