Over the last few weeks of term 4, we worked on a project to investigate an area of sustainability and how we can link maths with it. I focused my project on the Gender Pay Gap and the Wealth Divide between a developing country and a developed country. Throughout this project, I learnt many different ways which data can be presented, including examples and comparisons and even rice! I decided to present my information in a PowerPoint which included graphs and a representation of data through rice. This was an excellent project to do because I feel I learnt that sustainability isn’t just protecting the environment, but also looking after our society and the people in our community.

I am proud of the product I created and feel it clearly represents both the gender pay gap and wealth divide and highlights were we need to improve in our community. I learnt many skills, including how to think outside the box when it come to presenting. I could have improved by showing both issues over time, perhaps with an animation. Even though there are a few ways I could improve, I’m still happy with my finished product overall.
