This week we are starting a fantasy basketball league using yahoo fantasy sports. I hope to teach the students about math skills. In addition, members can use the similarities between fantasy sports and the stock market to become successful business leaders.
We are now in the second week. At our weekly meeting we discussed the trends of the players, players who were not performing and trading for players who were performing. And as a side note the student that had the worst team in the league which we used as an example of how to trade and who to trade for is now beating me soundly this week.
Today we discussed the use of graphs to determine the trend in the midrange shot for the miami heat. http://espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/
Today we discussed the numbers behind the shot selection using the site http://hoopdata.com/teamshotlocs.aspx
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.
