These web-based activities were developed, during summer sessions from 1997 through 1999, by students at Mainland High School, located in Daytona Beach, FL. As part of Mainland's CCTT grant, the students were given permission by the book's publisher to convert the ancillary materials of the County's adopted Algebra 1 textbook (Glencoe Algebra 1 — ISBN: 9780028253282) into html format.
Project:
Tri-Valley Basketball League
A. The following data lists the games played
(GP), free throws scored (FT), 2-point field goals scored (2FG), and 3-point field goals
(3FG) for the top ten scorers in the Tri-Valley Basketball League. Players receive 1
point for a free throw and 2 or 3 points for field goals.; Complete the table. To find the average points per game, divide the total points by the number of games
played. Round to the nearest tenth. Start with the player with the highest
average and continue in descending order.
