Tomorrow I’ll be on a panel discussing quantitative literacy as part of Media Literacy Week. The focus will be data and science misinformation, and the panel discussion will run as part of the National Science Teachers Association’s Teacher Tip Tuesdays series.

This is a joint project of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), Education Development Center (EDC), and the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE). Registration is free, and you can find out more here.

UPDATE: You can find the full video of the webinar here.

I make a brief appearance in this NPR story about teaching using the coronavirus. In “Teacher Uses Coronavirus for Math Lessons”, reporter Emily Files profiles a teacher in Wisconsin who is using the coronavirus epidemic to get his middle school math students thinking about data and rates of change. Files interviewed me a about the lesson I wrote for the New York Times Learning Network on “Dangerous Numbers” (available here).
