This lesson plan, designed for MTED 394 in Fall 2011 by Daniel DeLellis and Jessica Freedman, explores the impact of carbon emissions and energy consumption across the U.S. Students will engage with relevant math topics such as linear equations, ratios, unit conversions, and data analysis using Microsoft Excel to analyze energy consumption data. The assessment task requires students to create a poster featuring a pie chart that illustrates regional carbon emissions and propose ways for each region to reduce these emissions, applying their knowledge of geography and industrialization.
