MEI has worked in collaboration with the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) to produce a suite of climate change focused maths resources for both Level 3 Core Maths and Key Stage 3 students.
Each set of resources contains session notes along with presentations, activities and printable student sheets.
There are four sets, each with level-appropriate versions for Level 3 Core Maths and Key Stage 3 mathematics.
The Trees for Net Zero resources are designed to be delivered over one or two lessons, looking at the topic in depth using skills of estimation as well as interpreting and plotting data in context.
The Trees and Carbon Capture resources are standalone activities that can be delivered as part of a lesson, a filtered version of the Trees for Net Zero sets.
The dynamic Extreme Weather activities use Desmos tools to investigate connections between global warming and extreme cold weather by calculating probabilities. This activity can form part of a lesson.
The EVolution of Vehicle Sales resources explore vehicle registration data, with links to proportional reasoning and estimation/modelling. These can be delivered as part of a lesson.
All resources embed the development of analysis and comparison techniques, as well as opportunities to make conjectures and present conclusions.
