Fuel Poverty 2
In this activity, students interpret graphs to identify trends and the people who are affected by this fuel poverty. Learning outcomes include:
*To understand that mathematics is used as a tool in a wide range of contexts
*To recognise that mathematical insight should be used to probe published facts and figures
*That mathematical modelling is a simplification; future planning encompasses a range of factors, which are difficult to predict with any degree of certainty
*To use mathematics to interpret the impact of energy costs on different sections of society
This resource is part of the Power House scheme of work, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), in which students investigate the topical issue of the cost and efficient use of energy. It is supported by the video Power House.
