Today's Newsletter: Turn Football Fans into Math Fans

Guest blog: Steven Baule, Superintendent of the Muncie Community Schools in Muncie, Indiana: One of the things I love about this time of year is football. High school football games are a great experience for the team, bands, cheerleaders, and fans. (Go @MCHSBearcats !) College football is one of my favorite Saturday activities (Go @HawkeyeFootball!). NFL football remains one of America’s favorite pastimes. With so many students excited about football on the weekends, it seems logical to try to utilize football to engage students during the week. One such math resource is through Bright Hub Education. Another lesson is on fantasy football through the NYT Education Page. Fantasy Sport Math has more resources. EdX provides a math in sports section. Yummy Math has lessons tied to football. Good luck in the classroom and this weekend!

Steve Baule served as a technology director, high school principal, and superintendent for 20+ years in K-12 education. He is currently the director of Winona State University’s online educational doctorate program in Minnesota.
