Description
Bring an authentic sports-based math project to your Algebra, Algebra 2 or PreCalculus classroom with Lines of Best Fit and Correlations! All in this 21st Century Math Project! Using data from the MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL students investigate correlations to some of sports most common questions like:
"Do more shots result in more goals?"
"Do hitters or pitchers have more impact on a team's wins?"
"What NFL stat is most strongly correlated with wins?"
and the grand-daddy...
"Can money buy championships?"
While students may dive into their favorite sport, they will be practicing rigorous topics Line of Best Fit (with slope and intercept) and correlation coefficients. TI-Graphing Calculator or Computer Lab with Excel required!
**NOTE -- this item now includes two version, one with older data, one with new. You have studnents see if there's been a change between the two version if you'd like**
In this product you will receive a 42 page PDF which includes:
3 different assignments, 1 project, graphs many data tables and an answer key. ***THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A GOOGLE SLIDES INTERACTIVE VERSION INCLUDED. REDOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE IT ALREADY***
- In “He Shoots, He Scores!!!” students will construct scatterplots and draw lines of best fit. While using NHL shot and goal data.
- In “Offense or Defense” students will use TI Graphing Calculates to create scatterplots and determine lines of best fit and correlation coefficients using Runs Scored and Runs Allowed MLB data.
- In “Gridiron Challenge” students will look at NFL data to determine which statistics has the strongest correlation with winning.
-- AND FINALLY in “Can Money Buy Championships?” students will look at data from the four major American sports leagues to answer this inquiry question.
