Abstract
Mathematics is considered one of the subjects with a worse school performance. However, its study is fundamental; as not in
vain it contributes to the development of logical thinking, exactitude and spatial perception.
On another note, Music has several benefits for the proper development of children and both disciplines keep a closer
relation than what it might seem at first sight. Taking that into account, we must pay attention to the teaching-learning
process of both subjects connectedly, therefore our research is based on finding out whether they are taught
interdisciplinarly during the earliest school years. In order to reach this aim, we have designed a questionnaire that was
applied in the province of A Coruna (Spain) and in Lisbon District (Portugal), to ascertain if there are any difference when it
comes to interdisciplinary work between both countries. The results show that most of teachers belong to public schools and
give the same importance to both subjects, although they do not feel prepared to work with them in an interdisciplinar way.
Keywords: Mathematics, Music, interdisciplinarity, Coruna, Lisbon.
