ACT
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this interesting lesson has students use sabermetrics (the study of statistics in baseball) to determine the expected winning percentage for a team, given the runs scored and runs allowed. The lesson approaches the formula in different ways, requiring students to solve for different variables in different situations. As an extension, students explore changes in the formula in order to improve its accuracy.
