The Physical Education Excel Data Worksheet packet is an editable Excel Document that can be used to enter skill/movement-based data based on physical education rubrics set by an individual PE teacher, school, district or PE curriculum program. Most PE rubrics today use a 3 or 4 point value system based on observed elements of a movement, skill, behavior or action. The Physical Education Excel Data Worksheet gives teachers the ability to enter these points and have them “averaged” automatically for easy grading purposes at the end of a unit or grading period. Student names can also be imported or copy/pasted from any other Excel files a teacher may have. The Physical Education Excel Data Worksheet was also designed to work with Cap’n Pete’s Power PE Assessment Series which has a 4 point scale rubric (PE Skill Outcome Scoring Rubric) that is included with each of the 24 Skill Assessment Sheets. The scores from the assessment sheets and subsequent rubric can be input in the excel worksheets. Included in this Excel Data Worksheet Packet is the following files: 1.

ALIGN COMMON CORE MATH STANDARDS IN PE Inside this packet are two Curriculum Connection Signs/Posters for integrating math into physical education. The 2 posters (Kdg. to 2nd and 3rd to 5th) identify 2 Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice for each grade level and provide basic examples of how we can align to the CC math standards with simple PE activities in our daily lessons. The stated PE math applications are simple to do and in most cases we as physical educators, are already incorporating these activities. These signs or posters can be posted in your gyms or hallways leading to your gym entry door and can be displayed for all to see as a testament to how we can integrate academic subject standards into the curriculum we teach. Many of the Math integration activity examples can be easily fused into the fitness and skill-based activities that you are already teaching. By starting a count at a higher number or converting measurement from inches to centimeters you are hitting Common Core Curriculum Math standards that will assist the homeroom teacher during their daily math lessons. What we do in the gym is “real” and can be considered math with real-life application for our students. It is a “Win-Win-Win” for us, the classroom teachers and of course our students. Administrators and parents will love to read these signs/posters and they will automatically bring up a positive conversation.
