Each of these lessons involves some of the following:
• Collecting and recording data to a datasheet
• Comparing decimal numbers
• Addition, subtraction
• Estimation of distances
• Using mathematics outside the classroom
• Measuring in feet and inches
• Measuring with a stopwatch (except Distance Throwing)
• Working in small groups
• Using math in the ‘real world’
• Examples of why we need math
• We use math in sports
• History – Greek Olympic Games
• Map reading – On the map: where is Greece, and where do
your students live?
These lessons have been used for many years with students
in classes of size 30. Students are getting practice in basic
math skills, and seeing how math can be used.
