From Box Scores to Test Scores Turning Gameday STATS Into Everyday Math Skills

Teacher and podcaster Mike O'Connell (host of the Math and Musings podcast) brings a new look to teaching mathematics using his twin passions of sports and sports statistics. What started as strictly a motivation to help minority male students (shown to be lagging behind in standardized testing but often showing an interest in sports) soon became an inclusive program designed to help all students, assisting those originally targeted without shortchanging anyone else. Not really a textbook per se, From Box Scores to Test Scores is a combination math primer, autobiography, and comedy script. The sample problems within vary from elementary level to, well, a lot more than that. From the classroom to the test page to real life, From Box Scores to Test Scores is your playbook for success!
