PROMOTING RENEWABLE ENERGY ISSUES IN SECONDARY MATHEMATICS CLASSROOMS

摘要

For the young generation it is indispensable to be concerned itself with the environmental consequences ofrnthe extensive usage of fossil fuels and to become familiar with renewable energies. Thus the topic ofrnrenewable energies must be integrated in a respectively education of our children, and this can even be donernadvantageously for classroom teaching.rnIt seems to be particularly suitable to treat future energy issues in mathematics education; however, there is arngreat lack of respective teaching material. Thus we have developed a didactic concept in respect to contentrnand structure of mathematical problems allowing their direct and broad usage in classrooms, and a series ofrnproblems following this concept have been constructed. They were presented in several conferences andrnfurther teacher educations. This contribution gives an overview of our project.
