This detailed multi-day lesson and minimal prep plan looks at how we can use math to solve a real, open-ended question: determining class size. With extensions into social justice realms, Math Modelling provides insight into - or a solution for - a real life problem using mathematics. In this (minimum) week-long endeavour, students will have a better idea of how math can have an effect on their daily lives. By comparing their models to their actual class sizes, they can begin to ask critical que
