Struggles




Students are intimidated
You don’t consider yourself a “math person”
Knowledge builds
MUST BE TAUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where can I get help?
Other Teachers
 Other Coaches
 Former Players/High School Students
 KAAC Summer Camp
 Internet
 Apps


How can I get them to help?
Ask them to write down how to do a specific problem
 Ask them to write more questions just like this one
 Send students

Practice


Practice Math every day!!!!!
Everyone can do math
 Write
down the problem
 Write down the Units
 Memorize common knowledge
 Glossaries
 Formulas
 Frequently

Coaching Strategies
How do I increase my team’s speed?
 Get a book on speed calculations
 All tossups are math
 Memorize common knowledge
 Must
check and see if students learned the information
 Must check and see if students retained the information

Coaching Strategies (cont.)
How do I increase the accuracy of my teams
calculations?
 All
bonuses are math
 Quizzes/Practice Worksheets
 No time limit (very risky)
 Go over missed questions
Surface Area & Volume of Spheres
Name: _________________
1. Find the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 5 ft.
2. Find the surface area of a sphere with a diameter of 18 in.
3. Find the volume of a sphere with a radius of 3 m.
4. Find the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 6 cm.
5.
Find the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 12 mm.
Coaching Strategies (cont.)
Quick Recall questions are normally written to be
done quickly
 Numbers
are chosen to simplify calculations
 Specific cases are only used if easily recognizable
 If a problem seems to take too long to calculate, then
there is probably a “trick.”
Where can I get questions?





KAAC Subject Area Packets
Definitions from textbook glossaries
Students (best way to practice)
Other teachers
Write down misses from season and compile a list
Written Assessment

Tricks may not work
 All



variations of a problem must be taught
Requires more in-depth knowledge
More memorization creates more time for
calculations
Graphing calculators for middle/high school
 Must
be taught to use
Video Calculus by Thinkwell
