1 Lesson Plan: Bats and Stats Lesson Designer: Leslie Knicl, Jefferson Middle School, 1115 S. Crescent, Champaign, IL 61821, Background: With the home run race consuming the sports news the last couple of years, I used the statistics to review percent and to introduce the use of technology in the creation of graphs. Objective: To work flexible with fractions, decimals, and percent to solve problems. (PSSM#, 2000 and Illinois State Standard, Goal 6A) To select, create, and use appropriate graphical representations of data. (PSSM, 2000 and Illinois State Standard, Goal 10A) To use computer technology to create graphs. To write a paragraph describing each graph. Materials: 3 worksheets - Breakdown of Mark McGwire's home runs, 1999 season - Breakdown of Sammy Sosa's home runs, 1999 season - Comparison of Statistics sheet Calculators, optional Computer with graphing software - ClarisWorks, Microsoft Excel Time Period: minute class periods Procedure: Day 1 1. Pass out the Mark McGwire sheet and review how to calculate the percentage of home runs for each question. After doing a couple together, have the students work in small groups to complete. 2. Go over answers together. 3. Pass out the Sammy Sosa sheet and repeat the process. Day 2 1. Pass out the Comparison of Statistics sheet. 2. Show the students how to create graphs on the computer. 3. Cut and paste the graph to a word document and then write a paragraph to describe the graph. Assessment: Complete worksheets Graphs and paragraphs Extension: The first year I did this activity I used the 1998 record-breaking statistics of McGwire and Sosa and compared it to Roger Maris' statistics. If interested in these sheets, please contact me via my school address or e- mail address. Sources: McGwire websites: Sosa websites: *NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Leslie Knicl, Jefferson Middle School, Champaign, IL Breakdown of Mark McGwire's 65 Home Runs

6 For McGwire's and Sosa's 1999 Season Assignment Goal: To make graphs to compare two different sets of statistics from both McGwire's and Sosa's 1999 season and write a paragraph analyzing each set of data. Comparison 1: Choose one of the following statistics from the comparison worksheets. You can compare by pitcher by number of men on base by home and away For this statistical pair either a double-bar graph or pictogram will work the best. ***I will compare and I will use a graph. When writing your paragraph you can use the graph to draw comparisons but also go back and find the corresponding questions on the worksheets and incorporate this information into your paragraph. Paragraph 1: Needs to be 4 or more complete sentences comparing the statistics in both graphs. Comparison 2: Choose one of the following statistics from the comparison worksheets. You can compare by month by inning by location For this statistical pair either a circle graph or a bar graph or pictogram for each player will work the best. ***I will compare and I will use a graph. When writing your paragraph you can use the graph to draw comparisons but also go back and find the corresponding questions on the worksheets and incorporate this information into your paragraph.
