Having students who love basketball and talk about it a ton has actual been fun for me. I start thinking back to managing basketball and I am learning new things.
I use to manage boy's basketball in middle school and high school. I was the varsity boy's basketball manager for 6 years!
With so many students talking about and enjoying basketball I have done some searching and digging for some basketball hoops for my classroom. I have found a few at Target, Walmart, on Amazon and got a couple for free. Having these hoops up in my room has been a lot of fun. Some students come in during lunch to play, having students compare shots made versus shots attempted and finding percentages and fractions, and I have been using them with a review game for students to review for their test but have a fun twist on the review to make it a little competitive.
As of today I currently have 5 different basketball hoops in my classroom to use for different things and the students love being able to use them to review topics and just for some fun! Now, sometimes the students get distracted so I have had to take them down a couple times but once they are down the students tend to realize having them up is a privilege and they try hard to get them back up and keep them up.
Overall, it has been a fun tool using to review with and work on different math skills with!
