Incorporate activities that blend math with ecology, such as creating and analyzing graphs of different species populations, calculating biodiversity indexes from sample data, and exploring addition and subtraction through scenarios involving changes in local ecosystems (e.g., adding/subtracting species due to various factors). These activities help students understand biodiversity while practicing their addition and subtraction skills in a real-world context.
