In the fall of 2024, Citizen Math released updated versions of every lesson in our library, plus a few new ones! We know you may have already prepped an earlier version or planned a repeat of last year, so we're continuing to make these earlier versions available through Thursday December 5, 2024.
You can find the new lessons through the regular search, and we hope you love them as much as we do. You can read more about these updates in Our Community.
Even under ideal conditions, driving is dangerous. To make the experience as safe as possible, cars come with a lot of mirrors to help drivers see what’s happening around them. So how do people typically position their car’s mirrors…and how should they position them?
In this lesson, students use reflections to model what drivers see in their rear-view and side-view mirrors. They see how adjusting the mirrors impacts the areas that drivers can see, and assess some common rules of thumb when it comes to the best way to orient your mirrors.
