Engage your students in modeling problems that evolved from a math teacher's field experience on the coast of Virginia. We will explore sustainability topics such as measuring biodiversity, how to weigh your fish with a ruler, and fish population models. Mathematical topics include data analysis, logarithmic, exponential, and recursive functions.
