They will pause the footage, determine what type of triangles the team is forming in that play, and program the Sphero robot (using either Scratch or Java script) to execute the triangles used in the play. The Lesson Behind the StrategyĪctivity: Students will review a clip of the Chicago Bulls executing the Triangle Offense. We’d love to see how you modify this activity). Adjust the plan as you’d like to fit with your teaching style (and feel free to share your ideas with us on the Teq Facebook page or Twitter account. The lesson plan below will include alternative suggestions if you plan on running this activity remotely with your students.īelow is a skeletal lesson plan. With a combination of math and coding, we can execute the triangle offense using Sphero robots (and teach our students a thing or two about triangles, coding language, and sports strategy while we’re at it).Īnd it’s important to know, you can do this activity with your students even while you are teaching remotely.
The Idea: Bring the Triangle Strategy to Life with Robots But how could a person replicate this offense without having anyone to play with? (Talk about quarantine problems.) The Last Dance chronicles the final season of the historic Chicago Bulls team which consisted of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippin, Dennis Rodman, and head coach Phil Jackson.Īlthough there is a lot to admire throughout the documentary, there was one thing that struck me as particularly interesting-the triangle offense.Īs the ball is passed from one player to the next, the team forms triangles around the court, which provides numerous passing options to help the players get the ball to a point where they can take a clean shot.Īlthough the Internet provides an infinite number of clips of it in action, what I yearned for was a way to see this offense play out in person. But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good sports documentary, and if you’re up on pop culture, you may have heard about ESPN’s The Last Dance.
