Chapter 1 Introduction Part 2 Ready-to-Use Plans for Arts-Integrated Mathematics Lessons Part 3 How to Create Your Own Arts-Integrated Curriculum
Karin K. Nolan has taught music at every grade level from preschool through college over the last eight years, including her currently position teaching music for Tucson Unified School District in Tucson, AZ, and teaching music education at the University of Arizona. While currently completing her doctorate in Music Education, Nolan presents at numerous conferences and workshops around the country about her research endeavors, arts integration, learner-centered education, and arts advocacy.
Finally, after years of discussion encouraging classroom teachers
to use arts-integrated materials in their curricula, here is a book
that offers primary mathematics teachers the necessary tools to
teach through the arts! Musi-Matics! not only provides lessons to
enhance curricular offerings, it provides guidelines for the
development of lessons using arts-integrated materials.

Teaching, University of Arizona*
The musical explanations are detailed, and the author rightfully
claims that no musical background is necessary, although teachers
must be comfortable leading their students in songs . . . Teachers
of primary grades who are looking for ways to integrate the arts or
to augment their mathematics lessons will find this book
helpful.
*Teaching Children Mathematics, November 2009*
Karin Nolan has developed a text that integrates age-appropriate
music and math concepts for primary school students. Lesson plans
are written clearly, and teachers do not need a background in the
arts to use this book. I especially appreciated the many hands-on
lessons throughout the book, which will engage children in music
and math activities and lead to more in-depth learning.

Editor, General Music Today*
