Learning Simulations Play a Useful Role
A substantial body of research shows that learning simulations are effective tools in the classroom. However, there are few available for middle school students. Action Math Baseball addresses this gap by making learning more relevant, positively impacting both academic achievement and student attitudes.
Action Math Baseball History
Simulation-based educational programs offer students a real-world environment that fosters relevance and a deeper appreciation for learning. Tim Scheidt, a middle school teacher, noticed that many of his eighth-grade students felt indifferent toward mathematics. Inspired by his passion for baseball, he developed an engaging, comprehensive, and math-rich learning experience for his students. For his innovative approach, Tim was honored with the Middle School Mathematics Teacher of the Year award.
