Stats in Motion Off to a Great Start
Stats in Motion is a new collaboration between the Math and Athletic Departments that
offers a creative way to teach students math concepts. This pilot program provides
academic support in mathematics to student athletes in an untraditional way. The curriculum
is customized for athletes using game scores, team performances and rankings to make
content more relatable and identifiable. While student-athletes are playing their
respective sports, they are also learning how to apply math to the game. The data
is clear that Stats in Motion is making a big impact on student success.
Coaches volunteer to assist in the classroom to better support students, and/or with data collection for their respective sports. The first group of 59 student athletes just completed their six-week session this month, which represents a 98.3 percent overall completion rate. We also had 55 students pass the class with a C or better, scoring a success rate of 93 percent.
