  • NBA Math Hoops Lesson 1: Demonstrating Sportsmanship - To start the NBA Math Hoops experience, all students are asked to sign a Sportsmanship Contract. Just like a pro-player singing, it affirms their commitment to their team and league. For grades 3-8. 

  • NBA Math Hoops Lesson 2: Field Goal Percentages - Understanding percentages is the first fundamental math skill in NBA Math Hoops. In this activity, students use basketball statistics to develop an understanding of the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages. For grades 3-8

  • NBA Math Hoops Lesson 3: The NBA Math Hoops Draft - Students apply their knowledge of percentages and decimals to the NBA Math Hoops player cards. Then, they form teams and draft their roster for the NBA Math Hoops season. For grades 3-8
