prescription drugs and the harm they can causeStudents will understand why using medicines
prescribed for someone else can be dangerous or deadly
“Reflect on the short- and long-term consequences of drug use”
“Declare a Drug Awareness Day in your school”

After you were supposed to? Have you taken more than
you were supposed to, or more often? How many have
shared a Rx drug with someone else? Think to

Math Lesson OverviewGOAL: tie Prescription Drug Abuse
Prevention and math together in a lessonWanted to avoid the obvious: monetary cost
simple/”boring” math Decided on using half-life of drugs to
introduce exponential decay
Math Lesson DetailsDiscussion about prescription drugs is “hook”
Interesting way to open a math classThe pivot to math is the half-life of drugs
Graphs showing/explaining half-life and exponential decay
Designed ‘real-world’ in-class and homework problems tying this all together
