Discover how environmental literacy can bring relevance and engagement to data science instruction in middle school math. In this interactive session, teachers will explore real-world environmental datasets—from local air quality to water usage—and learn how to use them to teach key concepts like graphing, measures of central tendency, probability, and data visualization. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, explore free data sources, and leave with ready-to-use lesson ideas that support both math standards and environmental awareness. Empower your students to see math not just as numbers, but as a tool for solving real-world environmental challenges.
