Marine environment as a real life situation for mathematics problem-solving

Problem-solving had been a major trend in mathematics education to implement skills such as critical and creative thinking, analyzing a situation and others which are very important when students are exposed to the world outside of school. Making problem-solving more realistic, application of real l...
