EarthCARE Focus on Numbers

EarthCARE has available a series of environmental lesson plans on the themes of water, waste and energy. In this section, we have developed additional lesson plans using data or books that have an environmental theme or message to be used to develop skills in numeracy. The lesson plans have been developed in keeping with Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office requirements and can be adapted for various grade levels. Please visit our Focus on Books section for additional environmental lesson plans.
