In this elections worksheet, students match 5 methods of counting votes for candidates to their descriptions. Students match 4 different types of fair candidates with their descriptions. Students problem solve 7 election scenarios.

Absolutely! Find the global maximum and minimums. Pupils watch a video showing how to find the absolute maximums and minimums of a function on an interval by testing critical points. The learners see how to determine whether a critical...

In this math worksheet, students solve a word problem related to illegal use of a firearm arrests in Hemlock County. Students read two candidates' statements and decide which is mathematically correct.

Here is another opportunity for math students to apply reasoning to solve real-world problems with ratios. The ratio of the number of votes for two candidates is provided. Your class is asked to use this ratio and information given about...

This is an opportunity for young mathematicians to apply reasoning to solve real-world problems with ratios. Even though there are three candidates for class president, students will only consider two at a time, making the first problem...

Get your learners to think outside the box. Students require a good understanding of ratios and their relationship to fractions to complete the problem. The only quantities given in the problem are the ratio of the number of votes for...

Pupils determine the probability of one mayoral candidate winning given the other's chance. The interactive provides a circle graph to help visualize each candidate's percentages of winning.

Build on probability and incorporate a random number generator to select outcomes for a school election. Your learners will record their results on a dot plot and answer questions regarding whether their candidate has a chance at the...

Students explore data and Excel spreadsheets. They collect data about political candidates. Students enter the data into a chart on Excel. They create a graph using the data and Excel.

Learners examine and compare voter turnout in US Elections. They write a letter to a favorite candidate or representative suggesting ways to increase voter turnout.

John won the election, but by how much more? Your learners will calculate how many votes each candidate received in order to determine the difference. Use with other lessons provided in the series to practice different variations of this...

The votes are in and your mathematicians are going to calculate how many votes each candidate received. Three different solution choices are given, depending on which method is taught. Have your learners set up a table, compute parts, or...

For this math worksheet, students solve a word problem about three candidates running for governor. Students use percentages to find out who will win the election.

In this math exam worksheet, students match methods to description names, math descriptions to fair candidates, compress preferences, use plurality and least harm to calculate winners and discuss methods of calculating votes.

Students reason mathematically as they solve problems dealing with probability of an even occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between different rankings of candidates running for leadership. They identify...

High schoolers make predictions based on survey results. They calcuate sample proportions. Students estimate the number of voters in their district preferring the democratic candidate using their sample results. They review sample...

Young scholars divide into groups of three or four, elect in their group who they think has the biggest mouth. This question will be followed by Mrs. Peters' joke about big mouths and frogs. Students then be asked how they could prove to...

In this algebra activity, students rewrite word problems using clues, into algebraic equations. They break the code deciding between political candidates John or Barack. There is an answer key to this problem.

What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

Your class will learn what it means to take a random sample of a population and to draw inferences from the information gained. In part a, of the exercise, you discuss with your class how middle schoolers during a class election can be...

Finding the critical numbers of a function can be extreme. The lesson introduces the Extreme Value Theorem to the class with a graph. Pupils then have an opportunity to practice determining the values using an algebraic function.

Knowing how to scale a recipe is an important skill. Young mathematicians determine the amount of ingredients they need to make a certain number of truffles when given a recipe. They determine a relationship between ingredients given a...

Explore politics by analyzing the voting process. Pupils discuss the purpose of casting votes in an election, then examine graphs based on the data from a previously held election's turnout. The lesson concludes as they answer study...

Once learners understand place value, they can put all kinds of numbers in order - even eight-digit numbers! Fourth graders put groups of five numbers in order from smallest to largest. After they finish, they decipher a word problem and...
