Abstract	Can integrating curriculum have a positive effect on a student's overall engagement and productivity in the classroom? This research study sought to prove that theory. Specifically, the question asked for this study was if integrating math with social studies curriculum would increase student engagement and productivity? Math and social studies lessons were taught with a combined approach for a specific period and student subjects participated in lessons designed to show how the two subject areas were intertwined. A qualitative research design was used to gather the data needed to determine if the interventions were effective. Post study, the student subjects completed a survey to determine the overall level of effectiveness of the study, by answering specific questions relating to their engagement and interest in the lessons. The results of the study found that integrating subject content, specifically math and social studies curriculum, did not have a significant impact on student engagement and productivity, but it did create a more cohesive learning environment. That is encouraging and promotes a need for more in-depth research. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
