SecondaryYear 9 - 10MathematicsEnvironmentalBiodiversityConservationOceansWater
Lesson Summary
This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. Students perform an analysis of and design solutions to combat one of our major environmental issues; litter. Students use a study of a local site at school to calculate the amount of litter at a larger scale. Proportional thinking is embedded in a meaningful problem that students themselves can address.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- use a sample area to estimate and understand the amount of litter in larger areas.
Success criteria
Students can:
- be able to calculate means, solve a problem involving direct proportion, and convert between units of area
- know that litter is a huge problem, both on land and in the ocean.
