Using Cooperative Learning to Integrate Math Concepts into Health Instruction on Sexuality and HIV Education

Abstract:
[ARCHIVED] Cooperative learning methods, as used in this article, require students to work together as equals to analyze national data on HIV/AIDS and sexuality education. The students learn the correlation between states' positions on sexuality education (whether it is mandated, encouraged or there is no position) and the number and percent of HIV/AIDS cases in particular states and among the three types of states. This project's aims are to integrate health education into math classes and to promote cooperative learning among students. This learning approach can improve student achievement and improve cooperation and mutual respect among different groups of students.
