Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Sir Models

Curated by ACT

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson helps students understand how diseases, epidemics, etc. are tracked by health organizations. Using the SIR (susceptible, infected, recovered) model, students track the number of students exposed to the flu in a closed system, such as a school. Algorithms, recursion, and data analysis play important roles in this lesson.
