Finals are next week for my students. I don't want to start anything new. Does anyone have any ideas on how to incorporate March Madness with math? They have been bugging me to watch part of the game today. My class is currently working on fractions or basic math. Thanks!!

Not sure... Maybe you can incorporate something, like the fraction of teams that have pulled upsets this year compared with other years. Also maybe compare the historical fractions of seeds over each other (ie compare the 6-11 and the 8-9). You could have on line a list of statistics and players and have them calculate how many points per game a team of their 5 players would score... I don't know, these are probably maybe only 2nd or 3rd grade suggestions and I don't know what grade you are teaching, but you could give this a shot if it's low level like this.

No. it rather is thoroughly unpredictable. it particularly is why it rather is called march insanity. no person has ever gotten a suited bracket. @Mountain Lion-rather? whilst became into that on sportscenter? I purely watched like 2 hours of it right this moment and that i googled it and it suggested it had in no way been accomplished. yet yea if it became into, I noticeably doubt every physique did it on their first attempt or did it purely as quickly as. It did not take long for brackets to get busted this twelve months

I get a lot of ideas from www.teach-nology.com
I don't know if you have classroom computer access or not, but this link from that site looks like it might be good.

Best of luck!
