A Typical Lesson
Seven main lessons were observed across three weeks of an integrated unit created by Adam called 'Return of the Time Lord: Time in Maths and Music'. An extract from Adam's program indicates that the main lessons in this unit emphasise “the integration of Maths and Music by bringing together elements common to both: time in all its aspects, including rhythm and pattern”. There were two aims of the unit: first, “to integrate mathematics and music through the measurement and understanding of time”; and second, “to foster an appreciation of the value of using time in a healthy manner” (extract from program).
