Description

A real world math project! In this 21st Century Math Project, let your students explore the mathematics around life most valuable resource... water. Through investigating bottled water, staggering international statistics and the realities of water conservation, students will be asked to construct expressions and equations around H2O.

In this 23 page PDF, you will be given a mapping to the Content Standards, an outline for how to implement the project, 4 different assignments for students to use, 1 project and an answer key. ***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A GOOGLE SLIDES INTERACTIVE VERSION INCLUDED. REDOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE IT ALREADY***

Download the preview to see pretty much everything!

In “Bottled Water by the Numbers” students begin practicing translating verbal expressions into algebra and evaluating or solving as necessary.

In “Water Rights” students will be immersed in international statistics about the realities or our present day water situation, the challenges of collecting water and the health effects of the situation. Students will write and evaluate algebraic expressions.

In “Carrying the Load” you can have student experience the realities of carrying water in this integrated hands-on assignment.

In “Water Conservation” students will use tables of data from the EPO and PackH2O to write and evaluate verbal expressions. They will be required to make up their own problems throughout.

In “Water Rights: Take Action Infographic” students should use information from their research to design their own digital infographic.

Great project, but it needs to be updated.

I have loved using this project, but the info is very outdated and could benefit from an update. The layout could be changed to have a space for the students to do the math work and then write their answers in complete sentences. This is a wonderful idea to take real-world scenarios and engage with them in math class.

I was really excited to use this resource, because we've used them in the past and they've been so fun and helpful. My student got too depressed by the subject matter to keep going, though...maybe next time.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing for numbers. For example, express the calculation “Subtract 𝘺 from 5” as 5 - 𝘺.
Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations). For example, use the formulas V = s³ and A = 6 s² to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2.
