Evidence:

In class today (9/12/11), we went outside and played a game of percentage basketball. We started off by rolling two dice and combined their numbers together (example: 3 + 4 = 7). If we use 7 as an example then we have 7 shots of trying to get the basketball through the hoop. After we had all our turns we added up our total (example: 3 out of 7). We then had to work out the percentage of goals we got. If we got 3 out of 7 shots in the hoop, then we would have to divide 3 by 7 and then multiply the answer by 100 (3 divided by 7 = ? x 100). This was how we played our percentage basketball.
