Social media has become a huge part of many of our lives. But do we really know where all that information goes? Scientists from the University of Oxford are studying how information and misinformation can spread across social media platforms. Mathematical models can be used to help predict how information might spread.
In this activity pupils plot a series of graphs and use them to interpret, predict or describe the spread of information.
Learning Outcomes
• Students can successfully plot graphs
• Students can use graphs to estimate values

I love the idea of this lesson, and the starter activity is great. I would repeat the starter allowing students to choose if they want to "share" or not. This is also an opportunity to discuss exponential functions and how they get big very quickly.
