Vote Count

Worksheet Description

Students simulate election audits by calculating vote totals and determining election winners using two different voting systems. One scenario uses popular vote, and the other uses a majority rule with a runoff if no one exceeds 50%. A table presents district-level and total vote data for analysis. Students practice math skills like addition and comparison. They also evaluate outcomes based on voting rules.

This worksheet enhances numerical reasoning and real-world application of math. It combines math with civics, promoting interdisciplinary thinking. Students interpret data, apply logical reasoning, and understand the consequences of different voting systems. It strengthens decision-making by encouraging accuracy and fairness in evaluating results. The activity supports both analytical and civic literacy skills.
