How Far up Am I? The Mathematics of Stadium Seating
McGraw, Rebecca; Romero, David; Krueger, Robert
Mathematics Teacher, v100 n4 p248-253 Nov 2006
The mathematics students are given a task to understand the fundamentals of liner functions by analyzing the height of the football stadium bleachers, as studying mathematical relationships in real-world contexts can enhance a student's knowledge of mathematics. The study of the stadium seating problem helps students to understand quadratic, exponential and trigonometric problems in addition to the building knowledge of algebra, creating graphs and writing equations.
