Title: Can teaching mathematics help save the planet?
Authors: Peters, Adam1,2, Bissell, Alistair3, Malkin, Elliot4,5, Woods, James McWilliam6, Rolph, Barney7, Coles, Alf8
Source: Mathematics Teaching. Dec2022, Issue 284, p9-14. 6p.
Subject Terms: *Mathematics education, *Mathematics teachers, Climate change, Mathematics, Carbon sequestration in forests, Deforestation, Carbon offsetting
Abstract: The article explores the role of teaching mathematics in modelling and communicating global issues such as climate change, as well as the responsibility of mathematics teachers in giving their students the skills to be aware of uses and misuses of climate change resources. Reflections of teachers in adapting resources are outlined on topics including carbon storage graphs, pre-planned mathematics focused on climate change, global deforestation, carbon production and carbon offsetting.
