You're safe, when calculating the odds of stealing second base! Learners compare the rate of a runner to the distance the ball travels, in a lesson that explores right triangles and measurement. Full of discussion questions and fun...

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...

A baseball trajectory and a parabola seem to make the best pair in real-world quadratic applications. Here is a current baseball resource with questions, discussions, and explorations regarding a quadratic function and home run...

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...

Who's on second? Young mathematicians use a diagram of a baseball field to find the distance a catcher must throw to reach second base. A brief video of such a play during a baseball game sets the stage for the assignment.

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 explore the concept data sets.  In this data sets lesson, students find the 5 number summaries for salaries of teachers and compare them with 5 number summaries of professional baseball players.  Students use box and...

Students take an in depth examine baseball record breakers. They calculate statistics, not just for one year, but over whole careers, to compare some famous players and find who was the best all-time home run hitter.

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...

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.

Collect and analyze data. Pupils graph their data and model with it to solve real life problems. They use logic and deductive reasoning to draw conclusions.

Students collect data on baseball plays. In this statistics instructional activity, students graph their data and make predictions based on their observation. They calculate what the probability is that a favorable outcome would...

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 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.

Students explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang instructional activity, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Students collect their boomerang data then...

Enrico Fermi, the physicist responsible for the first nuclear detonation, was known for his ability to estimate with little or no data. Use this task to have your classes practice their Fermi skills. They estimate the magnitude of three...

Students explore different ways of trading to get what they want. In this algebra lesson, students explore goods, money, services and exchange. They compare the use of money to the use of potlach.

Students create and analyze slope fields. In this calculus lesson, students create a visual of differential equations. They use the Ti Navigator to create slope fields.

Learners discuss the kinds of things they count and how to use tally marks. In this social science lesson, students count animal crackers by using tally marks for each kind of animal. The tally marks are changed into numbers and one...

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...

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 graph the slopes of a line using the intercepts. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the properties of a curve slope. They find the limit and use a graping calculator to graph their lines.

Students explore the rebound of balls. In this energy conversion lesson, students explore the physics behind the rebound of various types of sports balls. Through the experimental design process using balloons, students investigate and...

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.
