What is Sustainability? What does it mean for our us as humans? What about the planet? How does Math fit in? What skills will I need?
For your first week we will have some class discussions around this means and try to answer some of these questions.
Week Two: Statistical Inquiry
Week Two: Statistical Inquiry
What is Statistics? How can we use it? Why is my data important?
In week two we will develop the primary Math tool we will use for our research project. We will learn what makes up the Statistical Inquiry Cycle and how we can manipulate data.
Week Three: Natural Resources & Sustainability
Week Three: Natural Resources & Sustainability
What is Sustainability? What are the components of Sustainability? What are some examples?
In week three we will unpack Sustainability a bit more, looking at specific examples of Sustainability.
Week Four: Writing on Sustainability Issues
Week Four: Writing on Sustainability Issues
What are some specific examples of Sustainability? How can we argue these points?
In week four we will explore Sustainability even further, looking at specific examples of Sustainability, and how to correctly structure an essay.
Week Five: Writing (cont.) and research on Sustainability Issues
Week Five: Writing (cont.) and research on Sustainability Issues
What are some specific examples of Sustainability? How can we argue these points?
In week Five we will complete our writing task and use the Paragraph Card structure to record our research on Sustainability issues and try the Library for different forms of information.
Week Six-Eight: Area, Population, & Calculations
Week Six-Eight: Area, Population, & Calculations
What are some Mathematical approaches to work out consumption, production, and pollution?
In week six we will learn some core mathematical skills to apply to our understanding of Sustainability. We need to work through some Math skills - Perimeter, Area, and Volume
Week Eight: Applications of Area, Perimeter, & Volume
Week Eight: Applications of Area, Perimeter, & Volume
What are some applications to our learning?
In our final week of term we will learn a platform - Tinkercad. This 3D modelling software is free and accessible. It builds on your understanding of perimeter, area, and volume so you area able to create something!
Week Nine: Revision and Catch-up
