What is the most important factor in creating a successful fantasy sports experience for my students?
Get the parents involved. Some teachers are holding a “draft night,” in which parents and students draft teams together, make trades, and compute points for their teams for the first week of the game. This is a great way for students and parents to work together. Your fantasy game will be very successful once the parents are “on board” and understand how math concepts are applied to fantasy sports in the learning environment. Holding a draft night also helps to build community within the school. If you wish, you can get a couple of parents to organize the draft night for you.
