Jen Ratio | Mathalicious - 0 views

  •  
    "Confucius famously urged followers to heed the Golden Rule: do to others what you would have them do to you. However, he was also famous for another concept: jen. According to Confucius, a person of jen "brings the good things of others to completion and does not bring the bad things of others to completion." In other words, jen represents our ability to make the world a better place…but also a worse one. In this lesson we'll explore the concept of the jen ratio - the ratio of positive to negative observations in our daily lives - and discuss how it influences the way we experience the world. From violent video games to inspiring hip-hop lyrics, how does the Confucian concept of jen shape our lives?" This seems like a very engaging introduction to ratios. This is a paid resource, but the media for this lesson is free and available to all.

    Math behind health insurance. Interesting video that could be applied to math (probability, ratios, etc.) or social studies (government spending, incentives, role of government)
