Abstract

Interdisciplinary Mathematical Education aims to connect mathematics with other disciplines. The benefit for students in school is, when they recognize that mathematics can be found in many other areas of life and disciplines, that they get another view of mathematics. The challenge for teachers around the world remains how to develop and conduct interdisciplinary math classes. In this regard, this publication will provide several examples, experiences and results of empirical studies on this topic with a focus on STEM areas.
