Description
The United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) aim to solve the world's urgent social, economic and environmental problems by 2030. This math-based activity involves learners in examining how data is compiled and analyzed to measure the progress towards sustainability targets. Students research numerical information, which they then use to design and create infographic posters that communicate clear messages about issues like poverty and environmental degradation. By raising awareness of the "facts", pupils will understand that reliable, accurate data is essential to powerful "activism" which motivates the public and governmental changes required for the future for our planet.
General Assessment
Recommendation of how and where to use it
This resource supports Grade 4-8 Mathematics curriculum related to statistical analysis by using key concepts such as describing patterns in data, understanding averages and percentages and analysis of data points. The activity also enables students to practice STEM skills such as asking questions, critical thinking and using evidence to support ideas, while exploring the social, economic and environmental issues connected to climate change and pollution.
After creating their infographic posters, students are invited to share them on the "Fact-ivist" digital ibrary located here. A class could also share their ideas with the local community by collaborating with a public library to create a display that features student posters and childrens books related to each of the Sustainability Development Goals. This display could also promote ways to take action by describing individual sustainable practices such as reducing food waste at home or using alternative transportation.
