In this lesson, students learn how to generate equivalent fractions within the context of wind turbine energy.

Inquire: Students consider how creating equivalent fractions can help them determine their energy needs and goals.

Investigate: Students investigate how to make equivalent fractions by watching a video, using existing teaching materials, and guided practice with whole group instruction.

Inspire: Students independently solve fraction equivalent problems with a clean energy and community theme.

In this lesson, students explore how adding fractions can help people understand how to make mathematical adjustments to account for the growing need for clean energy in their community.

Inquire: Students are introduced to a scenario where the energy needs of the apartment building are changing due to new families moving in.

Investigate: Students learn how to add fractions with unlike denominators and participate in guided practice.

Inspire: Students work independently to solve fraction addition problems with a clean energy and community-building theme.

This lesson explores how subtracting fractions can help residents understand how to make mathematical adjustments for new draws on clean energy sources.

Inquire: Students are introduced to a scenario where the energy needs of the apartment building are changing due to established families moving out and new families moving in.

Investigate: Students investigate subtracting fractions with unlike denominators and engage in guided practice with whole-group instruction.

Inspire: Students independently solve fraction subtraction word problems, and are introduced to the United Nations' commitment to clean energy goals.

Students learn about riparian buffer zones and the ways they contribute to the health of a river.

Inquire: Students interpret a riparian buffer zone photograph and develop a question.

Investigate: Students read how riparian buffers contribute to stream health, identify supporting details, interpret a graph, and write CER statements.

Inspire: Students choose an option to demonstrate their learning.

Students engage in a riparian buffer simulation to test its function and write a report with recommendations.

Inquire: Students define four terms to understand riparian buffers.

Investigate: Students make a model to engage in a riparian buffer simulation and test the relationship between structure and function.

Inspire: Students use their data and findings to write a report and recommendations.

Integrating climate education into your daily math curriculum can be as easy as incorporating climate-related scenarios and language into math problems. This resource does just that. Students will practice identifying equivalent fractions using scenarios related to renewable energy, such as solar and wind power.

Incorporating climate education into your daily math lessons can be simple by using climate-related examples in math problems. This activity helps students learn to add fractions using scenarios focused on renewable energy, like wind power.

Incorporating climate education into your daily plans can be as simple as using climate-related math problems. For instance, you can teach students to subtract fractions using scenarios centered around sustainable practices. In this activity, students will subtract fractions related to wind energy story problems. This approach not only reinforces math skills but also raises awareness about renewable energy and environmental conservation.
