It is obvious, that collaboration plays an increasing role among science and mathematics teachers. It is quite useful if different ideas on science and mathematics teaching are shared among teachers. Teachers have better opportunities to experience collaboration. The collaborative process supports the transdisciplinarity of science and mathematics teaching. Teachers are able to develop an understanding of how mathematics and science concepts can be taught in creative, playful and effective way. The project MaT²SMc is implemented in the frame of EU Lifelong Learning Programme. The main idea of the project is to find a way to increase students' motivation to learn in the key subjects mathematics and science. From one side, mathematics teachers should understand that there is a meaningful and realistic context to use mathematics. From the other side, science teachers should understand that the mathematics competences required for more effective science teaching and learning. In such a context the collaboration of science and mathematics teachers is very relevant. Currently it is obvious that mathematics and natural science teachers‘ collaboration on integration purposes at school is limited by some factors. Collaboration of mathematics and natural science teachers should be expanded, for this purpose, it is necessary to create all necessary conditions and didactic providing (support). It is obvious, that collaboration of mathematics and science teachers is important for improvement of quality of natural science education. Key words: collaboration, quality of natural science education, science and mathematics teaching.

The present year has occasioned numerous reviews of the march of events since the turn of the century. Is it not fitting that a similar scrutiny should occur in the field of mathematical instruction? And so, it is a pleasure to be able to call attention to the Anniversary Book, now rapidly approaching completion, of the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers. It is entitled A Half Century of Teaching Science and Mathematics. In like manner, it is now thirty years since the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics was organized.
