THE COVID-19 SPECIAL: MATH PROBLEMS WITH REGARD TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
THE WORLD IN 2020
The coronavirus continues to have the world firmly in its grip. Here in Germany, we are back in a lockdown situation as the cold season of the year has arrived. But what about everything that is especially fun at this time of the year? Christmas markets, ice skating, holiday leisure time – all this is somehow very different this year. Is it really necessary that everything is so different because of this Covid-19? In Germany we seem to have everything under control!
But how fast is Covid-19 spreading? How much is the spread slowed down by school closures and social distancing measures? Why was the proportion of those who die of the corona virus in Germany so low at the beginning and was then rising?
So many questions… Go ahead and find your own answers!
Here are our Engaging MATH PROBLEM ABOUT THE CORONA PANDEMIC!
