We’re keen to share educational resources and activities that reveal how math underpins disease transmission and evolution. Together, we can break down barriers to mathematics by integrating topics like algebra and probability with real-world applications for infectious diseases in the classroom. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in infectious diseases has exploded, and we’re excited to demonstrate engaging activities: simulate epidemics with counters and dice, or explore pathogen evolution using playing cards. Plus, we’ll happily answer any burning questions about infectious diseases and aligning with the numeracy curriculum. Don’t miss this enriching opportunity to empower your teaching and inspire young minds!
