Amber Kiley, a 2nd-grade teacher in Philadelphia, integrates Saquon Barkley’s impressive football stats into her math lessons, teaching her students addition, subtraction, and place values. This hands-on approach promotes practical learning, allowing students to engage actively in their studies while also drawing parallels to teamwork and perseverance in sports. Following their lessons, students participated in a pep rally led by Eagles cheerleaders, enriching their experience and fostering a sense of community within the classroom. This method illustrates how sports can intersect with education.
After each game, the class adds to Saquon Barkley’s rushing totals, allowing students to practice addition while learning about place values and the importance of teamwork.
Amber Kiley’s innovative teaching method not only enhances math skills but also instills a sense of excitement and community within her second-grade class at MaST Community Charter School II.
