Week 2: Introduction to Water

and Sanitation Challenges

 Task:
 - Research and select 2-3 countries to compare
water and sanitation challenges.
 - Discuss the importance of clean water and
sanitation for sustainable development, integrating
statistical data.
 - Calculate daily water usage for families of different
sizes (e.g., a family of four and more than six).

 Outcome:
 Create a summary table of personal or community
water usage for the selected countries.
Week 3:
Measurement and
Water Usage
 Task:
 - Measure the water capacity of
different containers (bottles, pails,
tanks) and convert between units (e.g.,
liters to milliliters, cubic meters to liters).
 - Solve real-world problems like: “How
much water does a family use in a
week if they consume 200 liters per
day?”

 Outcome:
 Submit calculations showing water
usage comparisons. Create a graph
(line graph or pie chart) to visualize this
data.
Week 4: Ratios and Proportions
in Water Distribution
 Task:
 - Research and analyze the ratio of clean water to
wastewater in ASEAN and Western countries.
 - Solve problems involving water allocation, such as: “If 3
liters of water are needed per person daily, how much is
needed for a community of 150 people?”
 - Discuss water access inequalities using proportional
reasoning.

 Outcome:
 Complete ratio-based calculations and problem-solving
worksheets. Use this data to support the project’s analysis
on water distribution.
Week 5: Area and
Perimeter - Planning
Sanitation Systems
 Task:
 - Calculate the area of land needed for a
community toilet or water tank. Draw shapes
and use these calculations to support your
designs.
 - Solve problems like: “If a rectangular
sanitation facility measures 12m by 8m, what is
its perimeter and available area for
infrastructure?”
 - Consider space efficiency in both urban and
rural areas.

 Outcome:
 Submit diagrams and area/perimeter
calculations, which will be included in your final
project to design sanitation systems.
Week 6: Surface Area and
Volume - Storage and
Distribution
 Task:
 - Calculate the volume of water tanks (e.g., cylindrical,
cubic) to understand storage capacity.
 - Solve problems, like: “How much water can a cylindrical
tank with a radius of 1.5m and height of 2m hold?”
 - Calculate the surface area to estimate materials needed
for tank construction.

 Outcome:
 Provide labeled diagrams and calculations of tanks, which
will be used in the project to assess storage and distribution
solutions.
Week 7: Graphical
Representation of Data
 Task:
 - Create graphs (bar graphs, line graphs, or pie charts) to
display:
 - Global water access statistics
 - Water consumption patterns
 - Sanitation coverage in urban vs. rural areas
 - Analyze trends to answer questions like: “Which regions face
the greatest water challenges?”

 Outcome:
 Submit a set of graphs along with written analysis. These will be
part of your project’s visual representation and data analysis.
 Task:
 - Calculate the percentage of
Week 8: wastewater treated in various countries.
Problem-  - Solve problems like: “If 75% of a city's
Solving with population has access to clean water,
how many people lack access in a
Percentages population of 1.2 million?”
 - Discuss the progress of Sustainable
Development Goal 6 using
percentages.

 Outcome:
 Complete percentage-based problem-
solving worksheets. Use these
calculations in your project to highlight
access to clean water and wastewater
treatment.
 Task:
 - Design a water distribution plan for a
small village, considering:
 - Ratios for water allocation
 - Tank sizes using volume calculations
 - Land requirements using area and
perimeter calculations
Week 9:  - Write a reflection: “How does math
Integrated help solve real-world water challenges?”
Applications
and
 Outcome:
Reflection
 Submit a detailed project report that
includes the water distribution plan,
calculations, and reflection. This will be
the foundation for your final
presentation.
 Task:
 - Prepare and present your group’s
water and sanitation project, focusing
Week 10: on:
Presentation  - Mathematical calculations
and Review  - Graphs and visualizations
 - Practical solutions and
recommendations for addressing water
and sanitation issues
 - Review and reinforce key concepts
through collaborative quizzes and
discussions.

 Outcome:
 Present your final project and submit a
complete portfolio, including all
activities, calculations, reflections, and
a final solution for the water and
sanitation challenge.
