Without a doubt, there is a lot of math used in sports.  In football, calculating a quarterback’s passing yards, figuring how many yards the football traveled for the touchdown,  or the net distance of the punt, provides a gold mine for math learning in addition, subtraction, and geomentry.  Math problems related to the length of the football field, the offense (passing, running and kicking), the defense (lineman, linebackers, and defensive backs), and a chapter featuring a real coach’s last game are the focus of the content.  Embedded in the text is some history and stats about favorite athletes, too.  One page of useful  math problem-solving tips are listed…including…”Don’t get upset!  You can solve problems better when you’re calm.”  Lots of colored photos and colored text makes for highly attractive page layouts.  Back matter includes Further Reading, Web Sites and Index.  Given the  recent Seahawks world championship win, this could be a popular book for teachers to use in their math programs.  Other titles in the series include, basketball, race cars, and soccer.
