Students explore data sheets and statistics in baseball. They use baseball data available on the Internet to develop an understanding of the different ways in which data can be analyzed.

This is a wonderful exercise for learners to apply their critical thinking skills along with their knowledge of quadratic functions and parabolas. Young mathematicians investigate a real-world scenario about the height a baseball reaches...

Hit a home run with your lessons. A two-part activity has learners explore quadratic equations that model the path of a baseball. They see how changing the initial speed of the ball affects its maximum height, maximum horizontal...

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...

Here is a resource that demonstrates growth and the initial state of an equation. In this case, your class will be looking at baseball collections. How many baseball cards did the collector start out with, and how many were added or...

Learners investigate the art of baseball. In this sports lesson, students discuss their thoughts about the sport of baseball and create a baseball word list. Learners use pattern blocks and drawing paper to create a...

Are you taller than a Major League Baseball player? Future mathematicians learn about normal distributions, percentiles, z-scores, and areas under a normal curve. They use the concepts to analyze height data of Major League Baseball...

Who knew math could help with sports? An invigorating set of lessons encourages learners to apply right triangles in baseball, volleyball, hockey, football, and soccer. They use the Pythagorean Theorem, Pythagorean triples, special right...

Learners engage in six activities to lead them through the process of conducting a thorough analysis of data. Pupils work with calculating standard deviations and z-scores, finding the area under a normal curve, and sampling...

From the apple on your desk and the coffee cup in your hand, to the cabinets along the classroom wall, basic three-dimensional shapes are found everywhere in the world around us. Introduce young mathematicians to the these common figures...

Students demonstrate how math is used in everyday life. In this math investigation lesson, students develop a class-list of ways they use math everyday. Students define math vocabulary words, such as "counting," "daily life," and "measure."

Students investigate place value and decimals during baseball related activities. In this place value lesson, students explore place value with decimals. Resources are included.

Display data over a larger interval. The fourth segment in a 22-part unit introduces histograms and plotting data within intervals to the class. Pupils create frequency tables with predefined intervals to build histograms. They describe...

Add up areas of squares to discover the pythagorean relationship. Small groups create right triangles with squares along each side. They calculate the areas of each square and notice the relationship. Groups construct other types of...

Many students like to play sports and the equipment that goes with it costs money. The resource sets up an inequality that gives a total amount needed to purchase the equipment and the initial amount of money already obtained. In order...

Students discuss items people collect, such as stamps and baseball cards, solve related word problems to practice adding and subtracting tens, complete worksheet, and share items they do or would like to collect with classmates.

Students determine whom they consider "the best" performer in a variety of entertainment industries and discuss how to accurately measure greatness. They create bar graphs comparing statistics of the 1975 Cincinnati Reds and the 1998 New...

Learners focus on this activity would be differences in ability and disability. Some of the students in the class do very well in this activity and often, or always, win in the games of Number Tick Tack Toe; other learners struggle and...

Sixth graders translate sports vocabulary words from English to Spanish and complete money problems containing decimals. In this money and sports lesson plan, 6th graders use words to communicate to each other.

Students investigate shapes in sports. In this geometry lesson, students identify geometric shapes in sports equipment, fields, etc. Students present their findings.

Agricultural survey and the documentation of livestock or goods was the basis for the first written language. Youngsters discuss sorting and counting, and how these skills have been used for thousands of years. They accent their class...
