The document discusses how an increase in paper production contributes to deforestation, and asks if decreasing paper production could decrease deforestation. It notes that Helen and Joana normally walk 1 km to school in 20 minutes, but one day they slowed down without noticing by discussing an incident, and questions how they can make up for lost time. It also discusses a school recycling campaign where students earn points for collecting waste paper, and poses math questions about doubling, tripling, and relating kilograms of paper to points earned.

paper contributes to the destruction of trees from which paper is made?" “Will a decrease in the production of papers contribute to the decrease in the number of trees being cut?” What’s the Back Story? Helen and Joana walk a distance of one kilometer in going to the school where they teach. At a constant rate, it takes them 20 minutes to reach school in time for their first class. What’s the Back Story? One particular morning, the two became so engrossed in discussing an incident inside the school during the previous day that they did not notice that the pace at which they were walking slowed down. How will they be able to catch up for the lost number of minutes? Cite solutions. How are the quantities like rate, time, and distance considered in travelling? Does the change in one quantity affect a change in the other? Explain. Let’s Recycle! A local government organization launches a recycling campaign of waste materials to schools in order to raise students’ awareness of environmental protection and the effects of climate change. Every kilogram of waste materials earns points that can be exchanged for school supplies and grocery items. Paper, which is the number one waste collected, earns 5 points for every kilo. The table below shows the points earned by a Grade 8 class for every number of kilograms of waste paper collected. What happens to the number of points when the number of kilograms of paper is doubled? tripled? How many kilograms of paper will the Grade 8 class have to gather in order to raise 500 points? Write a mathematical statement that will relate the two quantities involved. In what way are you able to help clean the environment by collecting these waste papers? What items can be made out of these papers? How Steep Is Enough? Using his bicycle, Jericho travels a distance of 10 kilometers per hour on a steep road. The table shows the distance he has travelled at a particular length of time. What happens to the distance as the length of time increases? Using this pattern, how many kilometers would he have travelled in 8 1/2 hours? How will you be able to find the distance (without the aid of the table)? Write a mathematical statement. What mathematical operation did you apply in this case? Is there a constant number involved? Explain.
