An example of using math would include a lesson on community helpers such as firemen. The students are taught to use calculators to complete simple math. For example when 2 -1=1, the student looks at a color chart which indicates a particular color for the area that the math problem was written in and then he/she proceeds to collar that area.The same technique is used later in the semester when the students find the answer to a math problem , locate the number on a farm scene and use watercolors to paint the scene. This activity culminates in a lesson on Maine geography.
