Facing the Future is pleased to announce the release of Real World Math: Engaging Students through Global Issues. This two-part math resource engages students in learning foundational algebra and geometry through real-world data on global issues. The teacher’s guide and corresponding student workbook contain 15 lessons on topics such as climate change, population, and financial literacy. Each lesson in the teacher’s guide includes:

• A complete lesson plan including an activity based ‘hook’ to engage students • Masters for student lesson handouts • Masters for practice worksheets

All lessons were inspired, researched, designed, reviewed, and pilot tested by educators in the field.

“Using ‘real world’ ideas in math made math meaningful to [students]—they seemed to really care more about the math problems they were working.” - Math Teacher, Georgia
