Geometry Superbowl Author(s) Amy Dimmerling Subject(s) Geometry Grade Level 10th Duration 1 – 80 min period Rationale (How this relates to engineering) NA Activity Summary The students will use geometry to determine if various plays in football will be successful. Objectives 1. 1. Students will be able to draw angles and scale measurements off of drawings. 2. 2. Students will be able to use the drawings and measurements to come to conclusions on various situations. 3. 3. Students will have a greater understanding that geometry is everywhere. Standards Mathematics Geometry and Spatial Sense Standard Characteristics and Properties � Recognize the angles formed and the relationship between the angles when two lines intersect and when parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Background Knowledge Students must be able to comprehend and measure angles correctly. Materials Required Football Field Worksheets (to scale) Yellow Flag Timer PowerPoint Presentation Activities Setup Break students up randomly by passing out cards with teams on them, the students need to find their teammate (match). Once paired up the students need to decide who will be the quarterback and who will be the wide receiver. They need to choose a colored pencil that matches the team colors and assign one color per position and make sure it is documented on their packets. The packet will include a team worksheet and a number of blank football field worksheets. The following table includes the team names and positions: Team Pittsburg Caroline Philadelphia Cincinnati Minnesota Dallas Houston Mascot Colors QB WR Kicker Steelers Gold Black Roethlisberger Ward Reed Panthers Black Teal Delhomme Muhammad Kasay Eagles Green Silver McNabb T.O Akers Bangles Orange Black Palmer C. Johnson Graham Vikings Purple Yellow Culpepper Moss Anderson Cowboys Blue Sliver Testaverde K. Johnson Cundiff Texans Navy Red Carr A. Johnson Brown Blue Indianapolis Colts Blue White Manning Harrison Vanderjagt Jacksonville Jaguars Black Teal Leftwich J. Smith Scobee New Orleans Saints Black Gold Brooks Horn Carney Atlanta Falcons Black Red Vick Price Feelay Detroit Lions Blue Silver Harrington Williams Hanson Green Bay Packers Green Yellow Favre Walker Longwell New York Jets Green White Penington Moss Brien New England Patriots Blue Red Brady Brown Vinatieri Objective of the Game Students who have the most points at the end of the class will win the game. Students gain points by correctly answering the questions. Student will lose points when flags are thrown for penalties. Rules . • Students will be given plays and have 5 minuets to “run” (draw to scale) them and come to an conclusion . • Students will gain points for correct answers and no points if the answer is incorrect. . • At anytime the referee can throw a penalty flag and deduct points from the teams score. The following are penalty flags may be thrown and it is up to the judgment of the referee to determine the severity of the offense and the amount of points penalized. Flags . . . . . • Delay of Game (Doesn’t answer question in allotted time) • Excessive Celebration (Too Noisy) • Unsportsmanlike Conduct (Self-Explanatory) • Too Many Men on the Field • False Start Assessment of Student Learning The in class packets. Assessment of the Activity Attached Survey Reflection If I would do this lesson again I would be sure that I handed out the “team cards” when the students were walking in the classroom. I would also limit the number of students to less than 30 (even that might be too many). One of the students passed me in the hallway later on in the day and he said, “I wish you would teach our geometry class more often. That was the best day of geometry I have had.”
