Globalized Unit on Linear Functions
The following unit plan incorporates global education competencies for an Algebra I Mathematics classroom. Students explore the ideas of population growth and the impact of plastic water bottle waste on the environment.
Students should approach the topic of population growth while exploring the India Travel Blog. India is forecasted to be the World's most populous country by 2028. India is also a country that suffers from inadequate waste disposal. (see STUDY-Additional Resources - Articles & Ted Talks). By corresponding with students in India (as well as other countries) students have the opportunity of exploring this relevant real life connection with students from around the world. Students can easily document plastic water bottle waste and explore this problem through statistical analysis where corresponding schools compare data. |
