Description
This hands-on assignment could be completed as a cross-curricular activity with your school's P.E. department or done independently in your class. Students will spend between 1-3 classes exploring how math, specifically angles, plays an integral role in sports. Angles in hockey, basketball, and football are explored through various hands-on activities that require several mathematical calculations and a few reflection questions. Teachers will need the following resources for each section.
Hockey: stick, ball/puck, cones, net (20-40 minutes)
Football: several footballs (20-30 minutes)
Basketball: several basketballs and a hoop (20-30 minutes)
These activities would be aligned with the middle school math standards or an applied high school math course. Students typically enjoy the hands-on nature of the activity while getting a better understanding of the math involved in sports.
