Design and Build a Baseball Diamond

Today we had the students go through the process of designing and building a baseball diamond. First we started with a plan. We had the students copy a sketch of a baseball diamond including the dimensions of 30 feet to each base. Next we used a tape measure to put the bases in the proper place. We also showed them how far it is for a professional base path of 90 feet. The next day i asked them if a batter got a hit and ran from home to 2nd base, how far did he run? If a person got a home run how many feet did he run? We talked about using addition and multiplication to figure out the answer.
