Sporting with Kids

In my house the holidays are filled with friends, family, and hours and hours of televised football, basketball, and hockey. While watching TV may not be the most educational of activities, watching sports can offer numerous opportunities to make math meaningful with statistics, scoring, and problem solving. However, don't limit your family to just watching sports, an afternoon at a park or bowling alley can allow for numerous mathematical moments while staying active. Happy sporting and Go Team Aviators!
