Dear Math Teachers --

Below is a link to a webpage containing more information about the 1936 __Literary Digest__ poll in which Landon "defeated" Roosevelt by a landslide.

[]

Below is a link that I used to get the electoral maps. The actual 1936 electoral map can be found by using the menu. To get the map based on the __Literary Digest__ predictions, go to the year 2016, and click on the states to change their color. The only drawback is the number for each state on the 2016 map is the number of electoral votes the state has in 2016. This is different from the number of electoral votes in 1936. If you find an interactive map somewhere that lets you input the number of electoral votes in each state, do let me know.

Below is a link to a webpage with more information on the Salk Polio Trials of 1954. If you read this, you'll see that I oversimplified things some to make the trials simulatable in groups of 10-15 people but still got the general idea of the trials. This page also has some "guided inquiry" questions.

[]

I made up the simulation of the Polio trials on my own (but I'm sure something like that's somewhere on the wide ranges of the Internet and I definitely don't claim to be the first one who'se done something like this), but I haven't written it up yet. If you want to run it in your class, let me know and I'll be happy to either help talk you through how to run it and adapt it, or if there's a mutually agreeable day, I'll come to your school and facilitate it with you at no cost to you or your school district.

Thanks for being such eager participants and making this an enjoyable week for me. I learned a lot and I hope you did as well.

Best wishes for a great school year! -- Mike
