Overview
Students are given a number of “country cards.” They are asked to group/arrange the cards in a way that they think reflects the gaps in the world today. Afterward, they compare their arrangement with the “Gapminder World Map” graph.
This exercise helps students think about the gaps in the world today and helps challenge preconceived ideas about how the contemporary world looks. The exercise can also be used to stimulate an interest in using statistics to understand the world.
