The theoretical part consists of the definition of arts integration into education, a discussion of the developmental process of creative mathematical thinking, an explanation of the position of art and mathematics in education today, and a summary of the benefits of arts integration and its positive effects on students. The empirical part reports on the findings of a pedagogical experiment involving two different ways of teaching fifth-grade students: the control group was taught mathematics in a traditional way, while the experimental group was taught with the integration of fine art content into the mathematics lessons. At the end of the teaching periods, four mathematics tests were administered in order to determine the difference in knowledge between the control group and the experimental group. The results of our study confirmed the hypotheses, as we found positive effects of fine art integration into mathematics, with the experimental group achieving higher marks in the mathematics tests than the control group. Our results are consistent with the findings of previous research and studies, which have demonstrated and confirmed that long-term participation in fine art activities offers advantages related to mathematical reasoning, such as intrinsic motivation, visual imagination and reflection on how to generate creative ideas.  \nKeywords: primary school education, integration, fine art, mathematics, creativity  \n1 Ph.D. student at University of Ljubljana, Slovenia; [anja.brezovnik@gmail.com](anja.brezovnik@gmail.com)  \n12 the benefits of fine art integration into mathematics in primary school  \nPrednosti vključevanja likovne umetnosti v matematikona razredni stopnji osnovne šole  \nAnja Brezovnik  \n• Namen raziskovanja je bil raziskati učinke vključevanja likovne umetnosti v matematiko na učence razredne stopnje osnovne šole. Teoretič ni del vsebuje definicijo vključevanja likovne umetnosti v pouk raznih šolskih predmetov, proces razvijanja ustvarjalnega matematičnega razmišljanja, pojasnilo današnjega položaja likovne umetnosti in matematike v izobraževanju ter prispevek likovne umetnosti in njene pozitivne učinke na učence. Empirični del obsega pedagoški eksperiment, kivključuje dva različna načina izvajanja učnega procesa pri pouku matematike učencev petih razredov osnovnih šol. Kontrolna skupna se jeučila matematiko na tradicionalen način, v eksperimentalni skupini paso bili učenci posebej usmerjeni v učenje matematike z vnašanjem vsebin likovne umetnosti. Poučevanju so sledili štirje različni testi znanja, s pomočjo katerih je bila vidna razlika v znanju med učenci, ki so biliizpostavljeni novostim učiteljevega angažiranja v poučevanju, in tistimi, pri katerih omenjenega ni bilo. Rezultati naše raziskave potrjujejo obe zastavljeni hipotezi. Našli smo pozitivne učinke vnašanja likovneumetnosti v matematiko na učence, saj je eksperimentalna skupina pri reševanju matematičnega preizkusa znanja dosegla višje rezultate kot kontrolna skupina. Številne predhodne raziskave so dokazale in potrdile, da dolgoročno udejstvovanje v likovnih dejavnostih učencem dajeprednosti, kot sta notranja motivacija in vizualno predstavljanje, navaja pa jih tudi na iskanje ustvarjalnih idej.  \nKljučne besede: osnovnošolski pouk, integracija, likovna umetnost, matematika, ustvarjalnost  \nIntroduction  \nGiaquinto (2007, p. 1) states that the importance of the integration of visual content into learning mathematics is nothing new, while Gustlin (2012, p. 8) and Catterall (2002) indicate that this way of teaching is a developing field in contemporary education systems.
