Real World Math: Engaging Students through Global Issues is a supplementary math text that puts math in an interesting context that relates to students’ lives. The teacher’s guide and corresponding student workbook contain 15 lessons that engage students in learning foundational algebra and geometry through real-world data on global issues such as climate change, population, and financial literacy.

Each lesson in the teacher’s guide includes:
• A complete lesson plan including an activity based ‘hook’ to engage students
• Masters for student lesson handouts
• Masters for practice worksheets

All lessons were inspired, researched, designed, reviewed, and pilot tested by educators in the field.
You can read more about this resource and download sample lessons on our website. If you would like to receive a review a complementary copy of the teacher’s guide, please send me your mailing address.

Professor Homunculus sez:

That’s not really a comment, it’s an advertisement. I don’t really accept those on this site, but I can let this one slide unless someone complains, or I re-think it.

Just so Math Mojo readers know, I don’t know anything about this product, nor do I endorse it. It’s got nothing to do with MathMojo, but it looks interesting just the same.

In the future though, comments with references to products are fine, but advertisements are out. I know that no harm was meant, so it’s OK this time. I wish you luck with it, Alicia.

I will make a video about how to make your own abax out of corrugated cardboard and 36 pennies in the next few days and will give you the URL for it a.s.a.p! Thanks for the motivation!
