Unit 1 Trashketball and Rates

Let’s talk about rate! What kind of rate information do sports coaches use to make decisions about who plays? What kid of rate information do teachers use to see who understand the material from class? What kind of rate information do meteorologists use to predict weather? What other uses of rate information can you think of?

Trashketball! There are three courts: Court A: easy Court B: medium Court C: difficult

Trashketball Rules Team members rotate shots After you shoot, record your result Return to the end of the line for your next shot Team members will stay positive with their teammates and other teams

Recording a Shot Each time you take a shot, circle the number: When you make a basket, put a slash through the number!

When you are done. Write your rate on the board as well as the court you used (Court A, Court B, or Court C).

0 (0 shots) ½ (15 shots) 1 (30 shots)

Exit Ticket Using your classmates’ data, guess your rates for the two courts you didn’t use today. Write it next to the word “Prediction,” on your “Trashketball Stats #1” sheet. Tomorrow, you will play on those courts and see if your guesses were correct!
