Baseball Math, Football Math, and Racing Math are paperbound books that contain multiple activities and projects that will challenge students in grades 4-8 to use computational skills as well as data analysis and probability concepts. Each book uses a different sport as background for the activities and students are more likely to become actively engaged in learning if the subject matter is of interest to them. Much of the material and many of the activities could easily be adapted for younger or older students. Activities include many opportunities to use and interpret data from graphs and charts. Many projects require long-term exploration of real data from news media and/or the Internet. Teachers will find these books include motivating material that will entice some of the more reluctant mathematicians because of the subject matter.

Have students tackle real-life math skills while following their favorite football team. The problems in this book focus on the computation of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents. Activities include analyzing the home field advantage, computing salaries for the average professional defensive unit, comparing coaching records, and more.
