Abstract:
In recent decades the world has become increasingly globalized. Student need to understand how the world is connected and that as a result, changes in one part of the world can impact people thousands of miles away. This series of five lessons is designed to teach high school students about globalization while meeting the requirements of the Indiana Academic Mathematics Standards. Each lesson applies mathematics content in a way that allows students to explore a global issue. The mathematics content ranges in level from Algebra I to Pre-Calculus. Each lesson plan contains background research about the global issue, a detailed procedure for teachers to use in planning and teaching the lessons, and all of the required worksheets for student use.
