Teaching Statistics with Sports

Since 1990, Bud Goode has been working to help inner city school kids learn math and statistics with a curriculum based on sports. Materials for teachers include lesson plans, blank worksheets and sample (partially filled-in) worksheets. See links below.

These are available to help teachers interested in reaching students with this award-winning method. All 50 states now require that Introductory Statistics be taught K-12. Tying lesson plans to weekly sports stats motivates kids. In its first 36 months this idea won four educational awards.

It works!

Statistical methods are really ideas about numbers. The idea of an average, for example, is the first idea (or concept) we can teach students using a sports stat to capture their attention. Sports can motivate them to want to learn.

Make the Monday Night Game of the Week a homework assignment. Create your own Lesson Plan Worksheet using the tool below. Newspapers may want to use this material on their sports page, too. Simply FAX or email your request to Bud Goode at: FAX 818-763-7820 or e-mail: BudGoode@ix.netcom.com for details.

Materials


Our purpose is to use a weekly updated sports data base to motivate kids--especially kids in center-city schools, to tackle math and stat concepts with the lesson plans and worksheets which we will be posting. New material will be added regularly.
