Equations in Everyday Life: Solving Local Problems with Global Friends

What is this project about?

Students collect everyday situations from their own community where equations appear, such as prices, travel times, or recipes. They share and compare these examples live with the partner class during a video call.
Age of Students
13-15 years, 16-18 years
Project Duration
3 weeks
Starting Month
November 2026

Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to identify and describe everyday situations in their community where equations appear, such as prices, travel times, and recipes, and explain them to partner classmates during a live video call.
Remember / Understand
Students will be able to apply equations to solve everyday problems from their community and use digital tools to compare and present their solutions with partner class peers across countries.

Project Activities

1

Introduce everyday equations with the partner class

Students meet their partner class and share where they already notice numbers and patterns in daily life, such as shopping, travel, and cooking. Together they name a few simple equations they use without thinking about it.

Duration: 30 minutes
2

Collect local situations where equations appear

Students investigate their community to find everyday situations involving prices, travel times, or recipes. They write each situation as a simple equation and note what the unknown value is.

Duration: 90 minutes
3

Solve real problems and prepare the live exchange

Students choose their best examples, solve the equations step by step, and check their answers with a partner. They prepare a short explanation and digital slides so they can present clearly to the other class.

Duration: 120 minutes
4

Live swap: compare and solve equations with the partner class

Both classes meet on a video call to explain their everyday equations, ask questions, and solve each other's problems together. Students compare how similar situations look in different countries and reflect on what they learned.

Duration: 60 minutes
