Learners step up to the plate as they first complete an assessment task using linear equations to determine the best company from which to buy baseball jerseys. They then evaluate provided sample responses identifying strengths and...

How can baseball and skeet-shooting be modeled mathematically? Sports lovers and young mathematicians learn how to use quadratic equations and systems of equations to model the flight paths of various objects.

Students apply various methods for finding the volume and surface area of sphere. They compare and contrast results among these mathematical methods. They work in cooperative groups to discuss their results with one another.

Math and sports meet on the baseball diamond in the first STEM lesson in a series of six that asks pupils to collect and perform comparative analyses of data specific to baseball. Following the analysis, scholars create a presentation...

How many hot dogs does Fenway Park go through in a year? Learners estimate answers to this question and more as they work through the task. Problems require participants to make assumptions and use those assumptions to make estimations.

Students solve problems using the opposite, reciprocal and powers. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems with inequalities and absolute values. They show understanding of the basic content of math in this lesson.

Students learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students work in small groups to find how movement changes when there is more - and less - friction.

Explore the concept of projectile distance through determining the angle that will provide the maximum distance of a launched projectile.  Students launch baseballs on a football field and video tape the path of the ball.

Young scholars find the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students solve for the different parts of a right triangle. They work the first problem with-the teacher then work on their own.

Students analyze the understanding of what a producer is. Students distinguish between producers and consumers. Students produce a hat of his/her own. Students will share creations with each other.

Explore parametric equations in this lesson, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path of objects in...

Middle schoolers work together to examine how different types of balls react to colliding with different surfaces. They discover the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions. They practice calculating momentum as well.

Students find the solutions of polynomials through graphing. In this algebra lesson, students identify the maximum and minimum of each polynomial function. They ind the vertex, domain and range of a parabola.

Students are taught to search the internet for statistics concepts on sports. In this probability lesson, students collect data and use the calculator to graph and analyze their data. They graph and make predictions about sports using...
