If The World Were A Village - Lesson |
| |
| Interdisciplinary Math & Literacy: Connecting knowledge of percentages, decimals and fractions to everyday life. Using the book “If the World were a Village” as modelled/shared reading, students are able to see how math (percentages, decimals, fractions) can be used to help us better understand the world around us. Using “world-mindedness” (knowledge of the world) as the vehicle for acquiring data, students use world statistics on nationalities, languages, ages, religions, food, air and water, schooling and literacy, money and possessions, and electricity to understand percentages, fractions and decimals if the world were a village of 100 people. |
