Lesson Plan

Better Lesson: Math Trash

Curated by ACT

A lesson plan where students collect trash, sort, and record the mass in grams. They will use their knowledge of numbers to figure out what category of trash had the most. The biggest idea of the lesson plan is that students will be more likely to reduce their own waste if they understand what a mass of trash looks like.
