A lesson plan for grade 2 Mathematics
In this lesson, one of a five-part unit from Illuminations titled “Mathematics and Football,” students explore the connections between mathematics and football. Students examine four pictures of things typically found at a football game—players, a scoreboard, a crowd, and a concession stand. They then create problem situations that correspond to their interpretation of each of the pictures.
