K-12:
- Ask students specific questions about the data, e.g. when and in what categories
was growth most marked?
- Try to get students to generalize from their data, e.g. what changes would
rural areas be experiencing at this time?
- Once students have studied the Industrial and Agricultural Revolutions,
have them return to the data and their hypotheses. Do they still agree with
their hypotheses?
- This lesson works well as an introduction to the Industrial and Agricultural
Revolutions. After they learn about these phenomena, have students try to
defend or refute the following statement by Tames (1972): "The expansion of
population and the progress of industry were inextricably intertwined."
Methods:
- Discuss strategies for integrating math skills in this social studies lesson.
Seek out a mathematics professor or student and ask for feedback on how to
include some different math strategies in the lesson. Assign students data
from the social science disciplines and have them develop a spreadsheet lesson
plan.
