An Elementary Mathematics Lesson about the 2020 Presidential Election
Abstract
This lesson is a “spin-off” to a high-school lesson that we recently shared in this journal (Izard & Cloft, 2023); however, the lesson shared here is intended for 4th grade. We wanted to continue the conversation about how to make mathematics more meaningful and relevant for our students by considering ways of bringing real-world events into our classrooms, and we specifically wanted to consider what this could look like in an elementary classroom.
