A brilliant way to incorporate math into 'real-life' without resorting to the usual selection of social studies charts and graphs, this book is divided into two sections. The first cover voting methods and election decision procedures, while the second explores the topic of appointment. Activities include 'consider this' exercises, 'explore further' homework assignments, research, calculator exploration optional exercises, and a long-term research project. Scaled-down analogies are used to help students move from the lesser to the greater in their political understanding, and will stretch their minds as they learn analyze the fairness of ballots, electoral decision procedures, and appointment methods. 155 classr oom-reproducible, perforated, three-hole-punched pages, softcover.
