Blue - Do the Maths on Plastic Toothbrushes

This lesson incorporates clips from Blue The Film as learning inspiration. Students delve deep into the mathematics behind one of the big environmental problems of today: plastic waste. Students explore what it would mean if we addressed one part of this problem; specifically cutting down on the millions of plastic toothbrushes that are thrown away in Australia each year. This lesson invites students to critically evaluate statistics and use relevant data to calculate the impact of this environmental change.
