Book Description
If your child says "learning about perimeters, areas, and volumes is no fun ... I am more interested in sports"; this book could be a game changer. Besides showing how these measurements are used throughout the word of sports, this book answers some fun questions like: How many basketballs can fit through a hoop at the same time? How many clay bricks are needed to build a batter's box? How many gallons of liquid will I be pouring my coach's head after a win? Just imagine all the fun your child will have sharing these fun trivia questions with friends! Examples and word problems draw from a range of sports so your young sports fan will be able to see the application of these math subjects in their favorite sports. Chapters cover the following topics: Perimeter of Common Polygons Area of Common Polygons Perimeter of Circular Objects Area of Circular Objects Volume of Prisms and Cylinders Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders Volume of Spheres Surface Area of Spheres This workbook is intended to supplement text books used to teach these topics and includes over 300 sports based word and supplemental problems. Step by step solutions, not just answer keys, are included for every problem. Imagine sprinkling sports trivia with sports-based problems - and that's a Math recipe which is sure to appeal to students in Grades 5 to 8.
