This problem set from Space Math at NASA provides 12 math exercises for estimating space weather storm frequencies and severities using historical data. For students grades K-12+, teachers can integrate these problems into statistics or Earth science units to help students analyze the probabilities and impacts of solar flares, auroras, and geomagnetic storms.
