Introduction

High school students often need help to see the practical applications of algebra to become engaged and motivated. To bridge this gap, the proposed unit "Using Algebra to Explore Population Genetics in Lactose Tolerance" takes a unique approach. Designed for High School Algebra II students, this unit aims to demonstrate the real-world relevance of algebra by connecting it to evolutionary medicine, specifically focusing on the genetic trait of lactose tolerance. By integrating mathematical concepts with biology, students will gain a deeper understanding of both subjects and be inspired and excited by the interdisciplinary nature of scientific inquiry.
