  • The Schools Fantasy
    League     is designed strictly for students and teachers. More then 2,200
    schools in the UK took part in this fantasy league last year alone. This league
    is designed just like a real fantasy league with responsibilities like trading
    players, tracking statistics and managing finances. These responsibilities
    promote the use of math, research and technology skills. In the UK called
    information and communication technology (ICT) skills . The students are
    benefiting by applying math and ICT skills in a fun, interactive and competitive
    environment. So rather than asking the GenYES student to create a PowerPoint on
    math equations and probability, encourage the GenYES student to create a
    classroom soccer team profile for a math teacher. The class can then set up
    individual accounts and each student will help accumulate points for the over
    all team ranking. Then the student can use the PowerPoint presentation to
    present the results for discussion. So many real math situations can come out of
    this one classroom activity.


    Check out Schools Fantasy
    League     to get your school involved in their very own international fantasy
    soccer league. The cost for your school to participate is 25 Euro equaling about 34.00 US Dollars (See, one math conversion
    already!)
