Math is everywhere as we try to better understand this pandemic and all its related health, economic and social consequences. Our mission at The Learning Network is to find opportunities for teaching and learning in current events.

It invites students to do things like: investigate rates of change, play with policy-related parameters and compare national, state and county data. In the past several weeks, we have also hosted three coronavirus-related “What’s Going On in This Graph?” discussions with students from around the world.

As usual, teachers from the American Statistical Association encourage students to support claims with evidence during live-moderation Wednesdays. It’s hard to communicate how powerful an activity this can be for students unless you read the comments for yourself. Mathematical and statistical literacy are fundamental to understanding our current crisis. We hope these resources can help students make sense of the numbers in the news during these surreal and scary times.
