Level Up chances and start of Fantasy Baseball Game

Today in class we are going to be doing a few level up activities to see if you've practiced and improved your skills.

Also, something new!  We are starting a version of fantasy baseball through the end of the school year.  It's opening day for some MLB teams, so here we go.

Complete this form before you leave class today. Note they are all Brewers players.  Gotta support the hometown team right?  (Full disclosure, I'm more of a Minnesota fan) .

Fantasy Baseball Picks

Only one form per person.  :) Or you may be disqualified.

You can research players here if you wish to have more information.

Finally, the categories you can gain points in are:
Runs
Home Runs
Runs Batted In
Base on Balls (Walks)
Strike Outs (least is better)
Stolen Bases
Batting Average

Five points per category, per week.  I'll explain in class.

It's all about the formula and substitutions.  The math isn't the tough thing, it's understanding where the numbers go and why.  I think we set a strong foundation for that today.
