Taking Math Out to the Ballgame

Palomares Elementary School’s teacher,  Diane Milinkevich, not only gave her 4th and 5th Grade students a real-life math lesson but also a moment to remember at the ballpark.  On Wednesday, May 4,  Milinkevich’s class took a field trip sponsored by the Oakland A's and Ross (Home Run Readers) to enjoy a game at the ballpark and also see how a game of baseball connects to real-world math using fractions, decimals, percentages, and angles. Ms. Milinkevich also threw out the first pitch at the game against the Seattle Mariners.
