Realistic Mathematics AFL Rounds 9 and 10

Realism in mathematics makes maths interesting and engages students in real life problems. Often problems are contrived and have very little meaning to the students. If students enjoy/love football then they will thoroughly enjoy mathematics linked to the weekly games of AFL football.



Here is another blog about making maths come alive using real data and problem solving questions about AFL Football. The purpose of this blog is to get students to solve problems and discuss issues raised after the weekly Rounds of the AFL.

To research up-to-date AFL football data go to The Game in Mondays West Australian Newspaper or www.afl.com.au or www.footywire.com
