New York Times Lessons
Our curriculum authors also write math lessons for the New York Times Learning Network. Check out the lessons below and their corresponding versions in The Times.
Algebra 3.2 - Systems of Equations
Are electric cars as “green” as we think they are? Students use systems of equations to explore the tradeoffs (environmental and economic) of going electric.
Algebra 5.1 - Exponential Growth (Version A)
How did Covid-19 spread so quickly? Students use exponential growth models to track and predict the spread of infections.
Algebra 5.1 - Exponential Growth (Version B)
How do you make videos go viral? Students use exponential growth models to track and predict the spread of viral videos.
5.4 - Exponential Decay (Version A)
Does the Covid-19 vaccine actually work? Students explore immunization and the decline of the pandemic through the math of exponential decay.
5.4 - Exponential Decay (Version B)
Why do so many popular social media influencers “burn out?” Students explore viral trends and fleeting fame through the math of exponential decay.
