MATH HOLIDAY HOMEWORK

MICHELLE
QUESTIONS
TASK: Students create bar graphs based on estimations of data
collected about
disposable containers used in their home by keeping a track of how
many
disposable containers they use in their house each day for a period of 3
weeks

INSTRUCTIONS: Students will present their journey of Track Your


Consumption right from the start
till the end through video / slide presentation showing all calculations
clearly
QUESTIONS

MAIN ACTIVITY :
• KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY DRINK CONTAINERS YOU USE IN ONE WEEK, AND
WHAT TYPES YOU USE
• BE SURE TO INCLUDE LARGE CONTAINERS THAT YOUR FAMILY USES AT HOME
LIKE TWO LITRE POP BOTTLES OR ONE LITRE JUICE CONTAINERS.
• TALLY YOUR TOTALS AT THE END OF THE WEEK. HOW MANY OF EACH TYPE OF
CONTAINER DID YOU USE IN ONE WEEK?

QUESTIONS

• CONCLUSION OF THEIR OWN CONSUMPTION?


• ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS INSTEAD OF THROWING THE CONTAINERS IN THE GARBAGE
• DO YOU NEED TO USE THESE DISPOSABLE BEVERAGE CONTAINERS ALL THE TIME?
• WHAT COULD YOU USE INSTEAD OF A DISPOSABLE BEVERAGE CONTAINER?
• ARE THERE ANY CHANGES YOU WOULD MAKE?
• DO THEY FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THEY RECYCLE THE CONTAINERS THEY ARE USING?
• DO THEY THINK THEY COULD USE FEWER CONTAINERS PER WEEK?
ANSWERS
• CONCLUSION OF MY CONSUMPTION: I DO NOT USE ALUMINIUM CONTAINERS AT ALL, AND USE
GLASS CONTAINERS AND PLASTIC CONTAINERS ON A DAILY BASIS.
• INSTEAD OF THROWING PLASTIC OR ALUMINIUM CONTAINERS, I COULD RECYCLE IT TO MAKE
NEW THINGS THAT WOULD BE USEFUL TO ME. I COULD REUSE THE GLASS CONTAINERS THAT I
DRINK IN.
• I DO NOT NEED TO USE DISPOSABLE CONTAINERS ALL THE TIME.
• INSTEAD OF USING DISPOSABLE CONTAINERS, I COULD USE GLASS CONTAINERS.
• I WOULD TRY TO MAXIMIZE THE USE OF REUSABLE CONTAINERS, AND WOULD MINIMIZE THE
USE OF DISPOSABLE CONTAINERS.
• I FEEL THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO RECYCLE THE DISPOSABLE CONTAINERS RATHER THAN
THROWING THEM OUT, AS THESE ARE SOME OF THE SMALL CHANGES WE AS STUDENTS CAN
MAKE TO BUILD A SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN PLANET.
• I THINK, BY USING GLASS BOTTLES FOR DRINKING, WE CAN USE IT FOR A LONGER TIME, BY
USING AND REFILLING WHEN NEEDED, THUS USING FEWER CONTAINERS THAN USUAL.
EXTENDED TASK

• BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, ESTIMATE HOW MANY YOU


WOULD USE IN ONE MONTH, SIX MONTHS AND IN ONE YEAR
• DO THEY FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THEY RECYCLE THE
CONTAINERS THEY ARE USING?
• ESTIMATE THE DISTANCE THE CONTAINERS WOULD COVER
IF THEY WERE PLACED END TO END ALONG A ROAD.
ANSWERS
• TO FIND OUT THE ESTIMATE OF THE CONTAINERS THAT I WILL BE USING, I NEED TO FIND THE
AVERAGE OF THE OVERALL DATA OF THE PAST 3 WEEKS.
 GLASS CONTAINER:
• THE AVERAGE OF THE DATA FROM THE PAST 3 WEEKS IS 24.67(26+21+27/3)
• ONE MONTH: 24.67*4 = 96.68
• SIX MONTHS:24.67*24=592.1
• ONE YEAR:24.67*48=1184.16
 PLASTIC CONTAINER:
• THE AVERAGE OF THE DATA FROM THE PAST 3 WEEKS IS 17
• ONE MONTH: 17*4=68
• SIX MONTHS:17*24=408
• ONE YEAR:17*48=816
ANSWERS

• I FEEL THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO RECYCLE THE CONTAINERS THAT WE USE,


AS SMALL ACTIONS LIKE THESE HELP IN MAKING OUR PLANET A BETTER PLACE
TO LIVE IN. THE WAYS THAT WE COULD EASILY RECYCLE OUR CONTAINERS ARE
BY CHANGING IT INTO PLASTIC PEN HOLDERS FOR OUR TABLES, OR GLASS
BOTTLES TO KEEP SMALL PLANTS IN.
• THE DISTANCE THE CONTAINERS WOULD COVER IF THEY WERE PLACED END TO
END ALONG A ROAD, DEPENDS ON THE LENGTH OF THE ROAD.
