Description

Overview:
The students will use ACC basketball statistics to practice the process of converting fractions to decimals then to percents and will learn how to create and edit a spreadsheet. They will then use this spreadsheet to analyze their data. This unit is done during the basketball season which takes approximately 15 weeks from the middle of November to the middle of March. Teachers must have Clarisworks to open the sample spreadsheet in the lesson, but may recreate it in another spreadsheet program.

Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Strong (2)

Has an implication that most students understand the nuances of the subject matter (basketball).

Quality of Technological Interactivity: Strong (2)

Not much interaction with the technology outside of using a computer to calculate data. Having another layer of technological use could led to better engagement from students.

Opportunities for Deeper Learning: Strong (2)

The opportunity for deeper learning and understanding for this lesson plan is somewhat hindered by the reliance of technology to calculate data.
