This blog is all about Yankees!!! Love them or hate them, they are a great team! The Yankees have a lot to offer to education. In discussing player salaries, student can learn what it looks like to see and how it feels to write figures such as $33,000,000.00 or $22,600,000.00. They can also learn about greater than and less than by comparing the win/loss record - 59(W) 34(L)or the win/loss record of a pitcher such as Andy Pettitte 11(W) 2(L).

After 599 comes 600
Alex Rodriguez is only one homer away from being apart of a special group of baseball players, six to be exact, that have hit 600 or more home runs. Will tonight be the night? For higher level thinking for your students, you could have them figure out the probability of A-Rod succeeding tonight. For the younger students, you can have them count by tens or hundreds and ask them how many homers A-Rod needs to get to 600 or any other number above 600. Just remember GO YANKEES!!!! Learning with the Yankees will always be FUN!
