Lesson Plan
It needn't be baseball season for you to slide in some baseball-math fun. To play the game, arrange students into two teams. Push desks back and form a baseball diamond. Set up home plate near a board or chart so, as students cross home plate, they can record the runs they score.
When the first team comes to the plate, provide a math problem for the first "batter" to solve.
This game can be used to reinforce any math computation skill. If you use it to reinforce simple math facts, however, the pace of the game will be quicker than if you use it for more complex computations.The play might move along something like this:
