Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
This course will teach the student to take their passion for sports and merge it with statistical analysis to have an unbiased view on performance on the field or court. This class will potentially take time and research outside of class time to allow the students to dive in to find the best values. We will use the current previous year's salary cap and salaries to build the rosters. 

Week 1:Introductions
MLB Statistics and Salary Cap Part 1
Week 2: MLB Statistics and Salary Cap Part 2
Week 3: Present their Major League Baseball teams to classmates and teacher 
Intro to the NFL statistics and salary cap restrictions
Week 4: NFL Statistics and Salary Cap Part 2
(Finalize their starting 22 after class)
Week 5: Present final NFL team
Intro to NBA statistics and salary cap rules
Week 6: Part 2 NBA statistics and salary cap rules
(Build NBA team after class)
Week 7: Present NBA team
Intro to Sports team Owners make how much?? 

Google Sheets will be an integral part of the class and familiarity with excel or google sheets might help. This will allow the students to work collaboratively on the rosters together simultaneously.

Learning Goals

The students will learn the main statistics tracked in each major sport. They will then learn how that translates to wins and how to build a team with this information.

Other Details

Supply List
It might be helpful for the learner to have a basic idea of how to use google sheets or microsoft excel. It will help with making the running of analysis more efficient and organized. I can give them a quick tutorial if they have no experience and will poll the class if I need to do one. 
The student should have access to the internet to be able to find the numbers to do their own analysis.
