Numeracy activity: counting clouds. Discuss how count and what is required to count clouds. Defining the unit to be counted is fundamental. 1+1 is not always 2–what is 1 apple + 1 orange? Understanding units prepares concept of common denominator. #units #numeracy #addition

Geometry lesson: select a US state and look at the Congressional District map. Discuss shapes & their closeness to a circle, interference of natural and human-made structures. Compare population/voting age population of each district. #redistricting #gerrymander #congress

Fun but perhaps disturbing illustration which can serve as opening discussion/activity about drawing voting districts and meaning of “fairness.” Such are issues I addressed in major legal matters. Not simple! #fair #redistricting #gerrymander

Cartoon in 6/13/22 New Yorker is a great humorous opening for discussion of algebra!

Home insurance lesson: compare property value and the limit of liability if a claim is made. The limit is the cost of rebuilding the home. Comparing when each is higher should generate a good discussion. #homeinsurance #liability #propertyvalue #insurance #economics
