Mathethmatics
Embed mathematics into tangible, real-life scenarios, allowing students to solve practical problems and deepen their comprehension of mathematical principles. Statistical data is used to understand climate change and to analyse the impact of various sustainability and climate solutions.
3hrs
Sustainable transport and scatterplots (UK)
In this lesson, students will view excerpts from 2040 then access and evaluate statistical reports in the media and other places about sustainable transport of the future, and they will use the data to construct scatter plots, make comparisons and draw conclusions.
2hrs 27mins
The seaweed solution (UK)
In this lesson, students will access information about seaweed farming and greenhouse gas emissions and use percentages, ratios, and fractions to solve problems. Students will also investigate the relationship between seaweed farming, the health benefits of eating seaweed and climate change. They will use this information to develop an infographic that uses numbers to convince their peers to eat more seaweed.
2hrs 20mins
Girls for the planet (UK)
In this lesson, students will investigate the environmental benefits that arise from empowering women and girls. They will access statistics about the education of women and represent this data using back-to-back stem and leaf plots and histograms. They will also undertake an action that will inform the school community about what they have learned or how they can support the empowerment and education of girls around the world.
4hrs 50mins
A 2040 vision for your community (UK)
This teaching resource is designed to guide students through a project where they will consolidate and extend learning from any of the other lessons in the 2040 units. It works in support of the curriculum points explored in those units. Social Action Lessons will have students taking what they have learned in previous lessons and engaging others to join The Regeneration.
1hr 4mins
Reducing our carbon footprint (UK)
In this lesson, students will investigate the measurement of CO2 as outputs per individual and household, in terms of kilograms of CO2 per annum. They will examine the carbon footprint of average Australians in comparison to the world average and to countries such as Bangladesh, as featured in a clip from 2040. Students will then engage in some mathematical problem solving by seeking to maximise their ‘household’ carbon savings given a set of constraints. This lesson can be used by students to extend on learning covered in 2040 – The Maths of Carbon – 5 & 6.
1hr 5mins
The maths of carbon
In this lesson, students will view a clip from 2040 and examine data related to CO2 in the atmosphere.
