Instructional Ideas

  • Assign as an independent study lesson, or when flipping your math classroom
  • Have learners explain what they have learned by converting random problems from the pack on the board
  • Use the final word problem as the basis for an environmental science lesson, coupled with the math component

Classroom Considerations

  • Does not provide much space for work (if needed)

Pros

  • Provides an answer key on the final page of the resource
  • Formatted for easy assignment and printing of each individual section

Cons

  • None
