Instructional Ideas

  • Go through each question step-by-step with youngsters, or have them complete as a homework assignment where their work is demonstrated on a second sheet of paper
  • To further engage learners in the word problems, consider showing a brief clip of a real football or basketball game since the points listed on the worksheet align correctly with the National Football League and National Basketball Association

Classroom Considerations

  • The second sheet includes answers to questions #35-#44, which are not included in this resource
