Abstract

Climate change affects humans and natural environments today and particularly in the future. Mathematical knowhow is necessary in producing knowledge about climate change, understanding it as a phenomenon and contributing to the climate debate. Therefore, learning mathematics plays an important role in building a climate-friendly world by raising teachers as critical thinkers and students as active citizens and young scientists. Practicing mathematics boosts abstract thinking, which is an essential tool for anyone interested in climate issues. In this study Researcher has tried to develop awareness among B.Ed. students as future teachers through solving mathematical word problems based on climate change and carbon footprint with a hope to spread this awareness in secondary school students in future.
