  1. FANTASY FOOTBALL Bryan Morrison bryan@mathbymorrison.com

  2. Looking for a way to incorporate real-life mathematics into the classroom? Have that difficult class that needs some special motivation? Fantasy football is very popular today, and we can borrow from the concept to teach all sorts of mathematics.

  3. Here are a few sample topics that you could cover in a semester long program. Your imagination is the only limitation! Measure of Central Tendency Binary Numbers Positive/Negative Numbers Dilations Circle and Bar Graphs Scale Factor Slope, y-intercept and Graphing GEOGRAPHY Matrix Multiplication Parallel Lines Evaluation of Functions Proportions

  4. THE SET-UP Place your kids in groups of 3-4. This will be their “team” for the remainder of the semester. Pick a team name, and get ready to draft a team of NFL players.

  5. THE DRAFT Print off the Draft Board from the website. Choose any player from the Draft Board. You will need one of each of the following positions: Quarterback Running Back Wide Receiver Kicker NFL Team

  6. HOW DO YOU SCORE POINTS? Just like in real fantasy football, points are earned based on the stats from the weekend’s games. The better a player does, the more points he scores. A score sheet is provided on the website. Of course, doing something bad in a game will result in negative points. Add everything up at the end, and you have a winner!

  7. HOW DO YOU GET THE STATS? Stats will be posted on the website by Tuesday night. Just go to www.mathbymorrison.com and click on the Fantasy Football tab. You can see a sample stat sheet currently on the website.

  8. SAMPLE STATS AND POINTS Romo 3 0 0 353 37.12 Foster 0 0 0 57 5.7 Bryant 0 0 0 141 14.1 Bailey 0 2 1 0 -1 Vikings 2 1 0 16 TOTAL: 66.92

  9. NOW WHAT? I have the kids fill out their stat sheet and find out how many points their team scored. Then, they will have another activity to do. Be creative!!! By the end of the season, you can do all sorts of neat activities that reinforce major concepts.

  10. POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES Keep checking back on the website for ideas and suggestions for class activities!

  11. TIME TO KICK OFF! Please email or call if you have any questions or concerns! Let your friends know about Fantasy Football and pass along my information! I hope 2013-14 is a very successful year for all! bryan@mathbymorrison.com (325) 212- 9758
