Environmental Impact of Paper Use

The document discusses how an increase in paper production contributes to deforestation, and asks if decreasing paper production could decrease deforestation. It notes that Helen and Joana normally walk 1 km to school in 20 minutes, but one day they slowed down without noticing by discussing an incident, and questions how they can make up for lost time. It also discusses a school recycling campaign where students earn points for collecting waste paper, and poses math questions about doubling, tripling, and relating kilograms of paper to points earned.

"Do you know that an

increasing demand for


paper contributes to the
destruction of trees from
which paper is made?"
“Will a decrease in the
production of papers
contribute to the decrease
in the number of trees
being cut?”
What’s the Back Story?
Helen and Joana walk a distance
of one kilometer in going to the
school where they teach. At a
constant rate, it takes them 20
minutes to reach school in time for
their first class.
What’s the Back Story?
One particular morning, the two
became so engrossed in
discussing an incident inside the
school during the previous day that
they did not notice that the pace at
which they were walking slowed
down.
How will they be able to
catch up for the lost
number of minutes? Cite
solutions.
How are the quantities like
rate, time, and distance
considered in travelling?
Does the change in one
quantity affect a change in
the other? Explain.
Let’s Recycle!
A local government
organization launches a
recycling campaign of waste
materials to schools in order
to raise students’
awareness of environmental
protection and the effects of
climate change.
Every kilogram of waste
materials earns points that
can be exchanged for
school supplies and grocery
items. Paper, which is the
number one waste
collected, earns 5 points for
every kilo.
The table below shows the points
earned by a Grade 8 class for every
number of kilograms of waste paper
collected.
What happens to the number
of points when the number of
kilograms of paper is doubled?
tripled?
How many kilograms of paper
will the Grade 8 class have to
gather in order to raise 500
points? Write a mathematical
statement that will relate the
two quantities involved.
In what way are you able to
help clean the environment
by collecting these waste
papers?
What items can be made
out of these papers?
How Steep Is Enough?
Using his bicycle, Jericho
travels a distance of 10
kilometers per hour on a
steep road. The table shows
the distance he has
travelled at a particular
length of time.
What happens to the
distance as the length of
time increases?
Using this pattern, how
many kilometers would he
have travelled in 8 1/2
hours?
How will you be able to find
the distance (without the aid of
the table)? Write a
mathematical statement.
What mathematical operation
did you apply in this case? Is
there a constant number
involved? Explain.
