Abstract
Out-of-school problems/activities in true-to-life situations involve many disciplines and are not constricted into blocks of time. Students make connections among subjects, simulate real-life and real-time experiences, and use reasoning, communication, and critical thinking skills to solve problems. Incorporating mathematics, language arts, and writing into an activity allows students to not only practice their skills but also use their creative energy. Students that integrate mathematics, language arts, and writing within a block of time also engage in both quantitative and qualitative literacies.
