1. You will divide into groups of 4-5 and assign roles to the group members
a. There will need to be a leader of the group. Your job is to coordinate the process of the research and keeping the time and task management. This is an important job and needs to be taken seriously by the person you choose.
b. Each person will be required to do research of the project.
c. One person will be in charge of organizing the power point but each person will help create the Prezi.
2. You will then choose a major league field and begin researching dimensions of that field
a. Example:
I. Busch Stadium- St. Louis Cardinals
II. Kauffman Stadium- Kanas City Royals
III. Wrigley Field- Chicago Cubs
IV. Yankee Stadium- New York Yankees
V. PNC Park- Pittsburgh Pirates
3. Ask yourself some questions that associated to the field that you have chosen and have to be math related. Some of the possible combination of the math problems can be:
a. Perimeter of the playing surface
b. Area of the playing surface
c. Perimeter of the whole field including the foul lines
d. Area of the whole field including the foul lines
e. Percentage of Grass to dirt on the baseball field. (If your group has 5).
F. following are resources that can help you solve the problem:
Khan Academy- Step by step videos on how to do math problems. Math Resources- Example problems and how to them examples on these 4
websites.
4. Your groups will begin to create your prezi over the information you researched and also the information you find when you answered your questions.
a. The prezi will be 7-9 slides
1. Title slide
2.(2-8) Information Slides
9. Conclusion slide
b. Include all the key information you found in your research and they answers to your questions
5. Your group will then present the information to the class.
a. Each person will talk about the question they had and explain how they came to that answer.
b. At the end you be asked what you learned and if the projected helped you understand the essential question.
