Math lesson plans based on current events

Welcome to Eventmath!

Wouldn’t it be great if students could wield math as a tool for understanding their world? To make this a reality, Eventmath pairs news articles and social media posts with math lesson plans. It's a living repository, where anyone can

• discover and edit Lesson plans,
• share ideas and get feedback by Contributing lesson plans, and
• help make Eventmath a world-class resource by completing Tasks.

This is a new project and is under development. If you're curious to learn more, you can read our successful grant proposal.
