The Math Patch

This is a sports themed twist on the typical “Venn diagram” lesson of ordering rational numbers. You can also laminate the basketball court diagram and basketballs and use this as a group activity for years to come. Another option would be to laminate and attach to a cookie sheet, and then glue the basketballs to individual magnets so they can be easily manipulated and…storage is MUCH easier. I hope this is an activity you and your students enjoy!
