Population Parity

In this integrated lesson plan, students will engage in discussion about a representative government in Florida. They will compare the Florida county map and the Florida Congressional map to predict the fairness of representation and consider why the representation in the district map doesn't match the Congressional map. They will investigate this question by comparing the population size in the counties of each district.
