One project on the Goals Project Padlet that really caught my attention is The Goals Project: Sustainable Math & Energy Exploration by Aya AlTuhl from Abu Dhabi, UAE. This project focuses on SDG 7: Affordable & Clean Energy and shows how math can connect to real-life issues in a meaningful way.
I liked how this project connects math topics we normally learn in class, like proportional relationships, unit rates, and probability, to renewable energy. For example, students calculate how much energy solar panels can produce over time, compare wind turbine efficiency using unit rates, and look at how weather affects solar farm performance. These activities help show that math isn’t just numbers on a worksheet, it’s a tool we can use to understand the world.
The hands-on part of this project stood out to me too. Students build wind turbines using recycled materials, measure wind speed and voltage output, and then graph their results. This combines math, science, and engineering in a way that feels engaging and practical. I think projects like this make learning more interesting because students get to test ideas and see real results.
I also appreciate how this project connects sustainability with everyday learning. Instead of treating clean energy as a separate topic, it’s woven into math lessons. This makes it easier for teachers to bring global goals into their classrooms without completely changing their curriculum.

Overall, this project is a great example of how math, sustainability, and hands-on learning can work together. It gave me ideas for how global goals can be integrated into regular classroom lessons in a simple but powerful way.
