This would be a nice activity to do at the beginning of
spring, as the baseball season gets underway. Students
will be given two teams to investigate. They will be
asked to make a scaled drawing of their teams’ stadium.
One drawing should fit on an 8½ x 11 piece of paper
and the second drawing should be on a regular size
construction paper. The students should come out with
the appropriate ratio and be able to explain to the class
why their ratio is the correct one.

1.
Students need to find and write down the playing field dimensions
for a pre-assigned baseball stadium.
2.
Students will scale actual field dimensions, so that the scaled
dimensions fit in an 8 ½ x 11 piece of paper.
3.
Students will make a scaled drawing of the baseball field on an 8 ½
x 11 piece of paper.
4.
Students will write a rationale on why they chose their specific
dimensions. It should include the math used to convert from the
actual dimensions to the scaled dimensions.
5.
Upon request students will define 5 words out of a list of 8 that are
components of the lesson.

Instructional Objectives
KMS, EL Centro
Stadiums of America
Student Activities
Using one of the different MLB stadiums, students will need to calculate the correct
proportion, so that a stadium's field dimensions can fit inside an 8 ½ x 11 piece of paper.
The scaled drawing has to take up as much of the paper as possible. As a start up
activity, students will visit one of two web sites for help.
Introductory Activity
Model Vehicles
In
groups of four, students will receive a scale model. Using the information that is
supplied in the package students will have to come up with the proper dimensions of the
given object. They will have to explain to the class the rationale that they used in coming
up with the dimensions.
Enabling Activity(ies)
Students will start of the lesson by practicing analyzing a map. Their first activity will
be to calculate the amount of miles that a baseball team travels on an average road trip.
Activity 1
Culminating Activity
Students will pick a second baseball stadium to scale down to fit on a ( ) construction
paper. They will need to include their new calculations and their rationale. As students
present their final product to the class, they will need to answer a series of questions
about the importance of ratio and proportion.

I learned a little about integrating technology in
the curriculum. I still need to improve. Through
CTAP, I have been able to develop other
activities to help my students understand certain
concepts.
In terms of the web, I have found ways to
improve upon it. What I created at the
beginning was not what I gave my students.

What I learned
KMS, EL Centro

CTAP was a positive experience for both
my students and myself. The students
enjoyed the programs that I develop
through CTAP. The lesson, although I
had some problems turned out o.k. I
ended up changing it a bit, but I thought
that it was for the better.
