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.

How should Arlington National Cemetery plan for its future? Established in 1864, Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place for thousands of American soldiers. Unfortunately, the Cemetery is running out of room, and there’s no simple solution for what it should do.
In this lesson, students write and solve linear equations to estimate when Arlington National Cemetery will reach capacity, evaluate various proposals to prolong its lifespan, and debate the best way for Arlington to honor soldiers and their families.
