Description
Math is boring… Math is hard… Math is no fun… Math is frustrating…
Most students experience one or more of these feelings, during their lifetime. Especially if the math formulas have no relevant context that the student can relate to. But if a student has played sports in school or on the playground, they know a lot more about sports than just how to keep score. Tapping into those sports examples is what makes Math more relevant to a student, and that’s exactly what this book does.
This book shows your child how pre-algebra concepts are used throughout familiar sports like football, basketball and baseball, as well as some not so familiar ones like rugby, archery, and pickleball.
It also describes the math behind some interesting sports tools such as the NFL draft value chart and the NBA draft lottery process.
Examples and word problems are drawn from a range of sports so your young sports fan will be able to see the Math in their favorite sports.
And that’s a big score for your child!
