Grit, grind and learn during the 2018 NBA Math Hoops program.
Each year, Learn Fresh partners with NBA teams across the league to bring NBA Math Hoops to students and educators in their local communities. This year, the Memphis Grizzlies are one of the participating NBA teams. Math Hoops engages students in grades 4-8 through the use of statistics
(or data as a certain 901 coach used to say) on their favorite NBA ballers. If you are interested in starting a Math Hoops team at your school or including it in your after-school program, click
here for more information.
