This project was made possible through the collaborative effort of the Buffalo Bills organization and the Buffalo Public School Mathematics Department. The following educators were involved in the development of these materials: Debra Sykes, Director of Mathematics, Buffalo Public Schools; Arlene Rosowski, Supervisor of Instruction, Buffalo Public Schools; Sharyn Miller, Math Support Teacher, Buffalo Public Schools; Claudette Rivera, Math Support Teacher, Buffalo Public Schools.

Description

Sampling is a technique used to make predictions about the behaviors or characteristics of a population or collection by noting the frequency of the behaviors or characteristics in a sample of the population.

This project was funded by the Buffalo Bills. Considerable credit for this project goes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the National Football League, and the authors of Project PASS. Tackle Math with the Buccaneers was used as a model for Tackle Math with the Buffalo Bills and the majority of the activities were updated and adapted to fit New York State Education Standards and the Buffalo Bills.
