Lab #2: Food Deserts

6/16/2020

0 Comments

 
In this lab, you will use mathematics to understand food deserts. A food desert is a geographical area that has limited resources and access to affordable and nutritious food. Food deserts can be contrasted with a food oasis, which has better access to supermarkets, shops with affordable and fresh foods, such as vegetables.

By conducting original research, you will learn about food deserts and use your mathematical knowledge to make claims and support effective decision making.

You can access the full lab assignment here.
