You will be shocked to discover how many straws are used each day in the U.S.
Join this webinar to explore an activity calculating the number of times the straws would wrap around the earth, the volume of plastic used each year, and more.
Come investigate the use of good applied mathematics, unit conversion, geometry and problem-solving using this real-world example. A great Earth Day fun math activity.
