Exploring Sea Level Rise in Algebra and Pre-Calculus: Learning About Affected Communities, Creating Mathematical Models, and Practicing Mathematical Communication Skills part of Curriculum for the Bioregion:Activities
Students begin this activity by learning how communities in Bangladesh are affected by melting glaciers and sea level rise, as well as why these phenomena are happening as a result of global climate change. They complete a modeling activity by collecting sea level height data from an interactive map, using linear regression to fit a mathematical model to the data, and reflecting on the accuracy of their model, as well as climate change models in general, by doing calculations with their regression equation. The activity ends when they present their models and have a conversation, with a person who is not a mathematician or familiar with mathematical models, about how models are sometimes misused to create an illusion of uncertainty about humankind's contribution to climate change.
