Please note: This teacher’s guide is designed for use with the Real World Math student workbook.
When introducing new math concepts to students, you have likely heard them ask, “When will I ever use this?” and “How does this connect to my life?”
Real World Math: Engaging Students through Global Issues engages students with real-world data on global issues such as climate change, population, and financial literacy. The teacher’s guide and corresponding student workbook focus on foundational algebra and geometry concepts. Each of the 15 lessons in the teacher’s guide includes three components:
- A complete lesson plan including an activity-based ‘hook’ to engage students
- Masters for student lesson handouts
- Masters for practice worksheets
All lessons were inspired, researched, designed, reviewed, and field tested by educators, including members of The Math Forum @ Drexel University.
Built into each lesson are:
- Real-world data
- Contextual math problems
- Step-by-step instructions
- National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards alignment
- Activity-based lesson ‘hooks’ that grab students’ interest
- Master pages for the student workbook
- Global and local issues as context
- Critical thinking
- Collaboration
- Bonus and extension problems
- Action project ideas
- Additional resources
The corresponding Real World Math student workbook includes lesson handouts, supplemental worksheets, and topical readings that directly connect with the lessons in the teacher’s guide. See the student workbook to download student pages to go with the teacher's guide lessons on this page. Classroom sets are also available.
“Students of all levels were engaged.”

“Using real world ideas in math made math meaningful to [the students] – they seemed to really care more about the math problems they were working.”
