Hi Steven,

It does appear this is an old fact sheet. The most up to date methane emission numbers can be found in this blog:

Land Degradation from stevenlevymath

Tags: Math, science, climate change, graph, college, environment, videoscribe, animation

Narration: This is Steven Levy and this is stevenlevymath. This Video is about land degradation.

Narration: The data for this video came from the UN's report "Livestock's Long Shadow" unless stated other wise, 

Reference: "Livestock's Long Shadow" from the UN, page 29 to 30.

Reference:
Per wikipedia: total earth surface=510, water 361, land 149 in millions of sq. km.

Narration: According to Wikipedia, the Surface area of the earth: 510 million sq km. Water is 361 and land is 149 square km.

Narration: According to Wikipedia, arable land 19 million sq km, Pasture is 39, Forest is 48. And urban is 2 million sq km.

Reference, Wikipedia: Land: arable land is13% (19 km sq), pasture 26% (39), forest 32% (48), urban 1.5% (2).

Narration: 10.9 million sq km is degraded by water, 5.5 by wind, 2.4 by chemical, and 0.8 is physical.

Problem Solving

Three Problems with Math:
(1) answering the wrong question (2) Mistakes in computation (3) Learning the wrong  methods

Students have one to two minutes to solve problems. Most math courses have about 15 types of problems.

Here's my advice:
(1) Read "Problem Solving Strategies" by Herr and Johnson.
(2) Thoroughly learn each type of problem and all its variations. Have at least two ways to solve each problem. learn how to estimate the answer.

During the test:
(1) Read each problem at least three times. More if you are an ESL student.
(2) Classify the problem by the types you have learned.
(3) Make a guess.
(4) Make an estimate.
(5) Solve the problem
(6) Does the answer agree with your guess and estimate? If not fix.

Memorizing procedures sometimes called "steps" is a loosing battle. The older we get the harder it is to memorize unrelated facts. Younger students might be able to do it, but High School and Adult learners could have problems with memorizing.

• This video compares meat consumption and mortality in Japan and the USA.
• Japan and the United State have similar income levels. (Bar Graph). Page 9 in Livestock's Long Shadow 2006, shows per capita income in Japan and the USA as $27,000 and $36,000 per year respectively. These are figures for 2002.
• Yet meat consumption in the United States is almost three times that of Japan. (Bar Graph) 42 vs. 125 kg per year.

Steven Levy Math, "Livestock's Long Shadow" Chapter 1, Page 5 Lesson Plan for High School

Description: This lesson shows how to use a polynomial to make a forecast.

(1) Students can make a graph from the data provided

(2)  Students can hand draw the forecast to the year 2100

(3) Using the polynomial students can calculate CO2 ppm for the year 2100.

This lesson shows how math could be used to make forecasts. I will post a video to go with this lesson.

Dividing by Fractions, An Animation, Partition Division

click here

Description:

I added captions!

The video is an animated explanation of dividing by fractions.  This article was the inspiration: Making Sense of Partitive and Quotitive Division: A Snapshot of Teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge by Anne Roche, Australian Catholic University,  and Doug Clarke, Australian Catholic University, . Teachers and students understand 8 / 2. But 8 / (.5) can be more difficult.

The process of dividing 8 by 2 is partition division. Dividing 8 by 0.5 is best done with partition division.

Lesson Plan For Grade 3, Quotition Division Research

Understanding quotition division is a prerequisite to making progress in problem solving and algebra. Students who do not have an intuitive feel for quotition must rely on processes. When they get to word problems, they ask "how do I set up the problem"? As students age their memory for unrelated processes gets weaker.


This is a bibliography for "Lesson Plan For Grade 3, Quotition Division"


Making Sense of Partitive and Quotitive Division
about 25% of teachers could make sense of 8 / (1/2) or 8/0.5.

What is division?
Reference 
Wikipedia  and Mathematics Stack Exchange


Division can written as: a/b = c.
a is the dividend.
b is the divisor.
c is the quotient.

Division can be expressed as:
1) Partition division
2) Quotition division


Partition Division

6 / 2 = ?
Divide 6 into 2 groups.
How many are in each group?

(Get the answer! Show 6 tiles. Make 2 equal groups. Count how many there are in a group.)

6/2 = 3

Quotition Division

6/2 = ?

Divide 6 into groups of 2.
How many groups are there?

(Get the answer! Show 6 tiles. Make groups of 2 tiles. Count how many groups.)

6/2 = 3

The Money of Climate Change Denial

The Money of Climate Change Denial

According to Wikipedia under the heading "Climate Change Denial" between 2002 and 2010 $120 million was donated to "Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund" that was distributed to the denial effort.

120 / 8 = $15 million per year.
