Water Rate Calculation

What does clean water have to do with math? This ETP is part of an inquiry-based unit that aims to engage students in using math, science, and engineering skills in a critical and creative way. Students will work collaboratively in teams to collect data, calculate and compare water usage and cost, identify variables and generate algebraic equations. Students will use critical thinking, creative problem solving, collaboration, communication, and information literacy to develop various water conservation strategies for their school community.
