LOOK  I'M FAMOUS!!!  WELL  SORT  OF!!! My Idol Dr. Jean published my idea!!! Geaux Tigers!

Football Math (Jodi Pipes, Geaux Tigers!)

Dr. Jean Writes:
"This is a clever idea for integrating math by following your football team. Jodi is a huge LSU fan, but you could adapt this for your favorite high school, college, or NFL team.

Every Friday they discuss:
WHO LSU is playing?
WHEN is game time?
WHERE will the game be played? (Locate it on a map.)
WHY is LSU (or the other team) ranked to win?

Each child has a paper football with their name. They put their football on a graph with W (win) or L (lose) on the bottom. On Monday, they talk about who won, how many points did they win by, etc. They record who got it right on a tally record on the board. At the end of the season they see who had the best record.

*Jodi said that the parents love this because many attended opposing universities. It also encourages the kids to think and talk about where they want to go to college."

This year we will follow the Tigers and the Saints! I can't promise that your child will vote the way you want them to, but they will learn so much more than who won the game! Are you ready for some football?
