Description
"Yards and points are the lifeblood of football. As those numbers add up on the scoreboard and in the stat sheet, a whole world of mathematics is there to uncover. From yards passing and receiving to the averages teams have converting third downs, the gridiron's numbers are easy to explore while conveying important math concepts in the process. Readers learn how stars measure themselves against other players with rushing and receiving stats, and how those stats are calculated in the first place."
