The purpose of this research is to document an attempt to integrate Environmental Education concepts and skills in teaching rectangular coordinate system, linear equations in two variables and slope in Grade 8. Three methods are combined in this integration: interdisciplinary contextualization, inductive method of teaching and project based method to address the problems of low learner engagement and undesirable behavior towards environment. Results showed that there is no significant improvement in the learners脙垄脗聙脗聶 scores. However, the average ratings of their project are described as 脙垄脗聙脗聹good脙垄脗聙脗聺, 脙垄脗聙脗聹satisfactory脙垄脗聙脗聺 and 脙垄脗聙脗聹very satisfactory脙垄脗聙脗聺.
