On your mark, get set, GO! Math is all around us, especially in sports. Keeping score, tracking time, determining an average, guessing the angle of a hockey puck, all take math. Within the 20 lessons, middle school students will play mock games that will help in adding and subtracting integers, applying Pythagorean Theorem, or calculating time over consecutive days. Leave no regrets on the field, get in there and play with math.
