Connected Math- Throwing at Targets

Today we used the targets from first tee and footballs together. The goal was to integrate math and football in one lesson. The objective was to let the kids write down how many throws it took to hit the target. We used a golf format so wherever the ball came to rest that is where the next throw must be made form. Once the target was hit the student would write it down in their journal or for the younger kids to write it with chalk on the ground.
I set up nine targets of varying distances and numbered the lanes one to nine. After the kids finished throwing at all nine we then went back to evaluate the numbers. We pointed out the least and most attempts to hit the target. We looked at the mode. Next we will calculate the average.
