Teaching mathematics to prepare students for the 21st century involves much more than memorization of rules. The emphasis of the mathematics curriculum is on concept development, active involvement of students, and connecting mathematics to other content areas. The purpose of this study was to determine if mathematics instruction using musical activities had any effect on second graders. More specifically, this research study compares traditional mathematics instruction with instruction of mathematics using musical activities to determine whether the instruction using musical activities enhanced students' learning of mathematics and/or improved their attitudes toward mathematics.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Teaching mathematics to prepare students for the 21st century involves much more than memorization of rules. The emphasis of the mathematics curriculum is on concept development, active involvement of students, and connecting mathematics to other content areas. The purpose of this study was to determine if mathematics instruction using musical activities had any effect on second graders. More specifically, this research study compares traditional mathematics instruction with instruction of mathematics using musical activities to determine whether the instruction using musical activities enhanced students' learning of mathematics and/or improved their attitudes toward mathematics.
520 $a The researcher created musical activities to teach geometry, measurement, and the concepts of money to twenty-two second graders, while twenty-two other second graders were instructed using a traditional method. The IOWA Tests of Basic Skills, Primary Measures of Music Audiation, and Strand Tests were administered to all participants. The students responded to the Revised Aiken Mathematics Attitude Scale and a Daily Attitude Record. Data was gathered from all of these instruments to make inferences regarding the effects of using musical activities to teach geometry, measurement and concepts of money.
520 $a The study showed that using musical activities provided an enjoyable method of learning mathematics for second grade students. Even though the results of the Aiken Attitude Scale did not show any significant differences between the two groups of students, the experimental group showed significantly higher positive attitudes on the daily attitude record than the control group. In all of the mathematical strand tests, geometry, measurement, and concepts of money, the group of students using the musical activities to gain knowledge in mathematics scored significantly higher than the group that received traditional instruction in mathematics. All indications of this study point to the fact that using musical activities is an effective method to enhance the learning of the mathematics curriculum in the strands of geometry, measurement and concepts of money. Future research needs to include other strands of the mathematics curriculum, various grade levels, and using mathematics and/or music across the curriculum connecting other content areas.
