Activity #2

Hi everyone,

For this week, I will be looking at creating an activity relating to the equality of pay between genders!

1. Housing costs/trends-> C3.1, B3.5, B1.1

2. Public health statistics of different countries-> C3.1, B3.5, A2

3. Crimes and racial profiling -> C3.1, B3.5, A2

4. Passion project on a social justice topic (student choice -> D2.2, D2.3, D2.4, A2

5. Women in STEM/Pay inequality -> C3.1, B3.5, A2

This connects to the Grade 9 math curriculum, with expectations C3.1, B3.5, A2.

For this week's activity, I thought it might be interesting to try and create a 3 act math problem (with a twist) for students to solve. We learned about 3 Act math a few classes ago, and I think it is really interesting and get students intrigued in the problem! I took the framework of 3 Act math and tried to create a similar structure!

Until next time,
