LESSON COLLECTION
Explore ready-to-use math lessons and classroom tools that connect mathematical concepts
to real-world issues through data, modeling, and inquiry.
Population and Food Production
Math Topic
Grade
Exponential and linear functions, parameter estimation, inequalities
11
Global Context
Responsible Consumption and Production
SDGs
2 - Zero Hunger, 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production
Short Description
Students explore how exponential and linear models can describe population and food production trends using FAO–World Bank data. They compare growth rates and discuss whether global food supply can sustainably meet population needs.
Water Footprint of Food
Math Topic
Grade
Operations with natural numbers; compare results and read and interpret numerical data from a table.
9
Global Context
Water use, consumption choices; scarcity
SDGs
6 - Clean Water and Sanitation
Short Description
Learners compute and compare water footprints per serving, rank options under a daily-liter constraint, and argue trade-offs to design more sustainable menus.
Overfishing at the Edge
Math Topic
Grade
Logistic models; equilibrium & limits; interpreting parameters from real data
12
Global Context
Ocean resources, biodiversity, sustainable fisheries
SDGs
14 - Life Below Water
Short Description
Students use real fishery data to estimate parameters for a logistic model, identify equilibrium and collapse points, and explore how mathematics can support sustainable fishing policies.
Phone-Life Balance
Math Topic
Grade
Linear functions, systems of equations, data interpretation
10
Global Context
Health and Well-being in a digital world
SDGs
3 – Good Health and Well-being
Short Description
Students explore how phone notifications impact attention and sleep. Using real data, they build a linear model to estimate time lost during study and discuss how healthy digital habits support better learning and well-being.
