AMS Engaged Pedagogy Redistricting Resources

In Spring 2023, Professor Beth Malmskog and I developed interactive teaching materials about computational redistricting to share with other instructors as a part of the first AMS Engaged Pedagogy Program on Mathematical Foundations of Democratic Processes. This page collects some of the resources and activities we put together.
