Interdisciplinary Teaching- This blog was started as a way of using journals and games in physical education class to enhance and connect the learning in math, language arts and science. Now that I am a science teacher I am finding ways to use physical activity to connect the learning in physical science.

Push ups and sit ups- adding then dividing to find average.

Today we used our push up and sit up information this way. First we added up how many push ups and how many sit ups the individual student did. Then we looked for the average. We explained to do this we must divide by the number of sets they performed. In this case it was two. We showed them how to set up the equation. The total number inside the house with the divisor outside. We went through the operation and then we checked it with multiplication. This took approximately 5 minutes for most. For the students that were having trouble figuring out the answer the coaches worked with those students until it was completed.
