Modelling Ice Thickness
An inspiring resource for learning numeracy
Connect learning in mathematics with current trends in weather patterns
Numeracy Focus: Exploring patterns and relationships
This task requires students to investigate the current trends of ice thickness in the Arctic Sea and how much is expected to be there in the future.
Guided questions prompt students to plot the data and model the relationship of ice thickness over time.
This task links with Geography and Science and there are a range of further investigations involving climate change in the Arctic.
