Math in Sports

Scoring and Statistics

Sports are full of numbers! You keep score, track time, and calculate averages. Math helps teams and players understand how they're doing.

  • Keeping Score:

    • Add points in basketball or soccer.
    • Subtract points for penalties.

  • Statistics:

    • Find averages, like batting averages in baseball.
    • Compare players using numbers.

Why It Matters

Math makes sports fair, helps coaches make smart decisions, and lets fans follow the action.

Examples

  • Calculating your team's average points per game.

  • Measuring the distance of a long jump or the speed of a pitch.
