Mathematical Workout
Summer is a tough time to work with kids on math, with the temperature rising and the swimming pool or sprinkler beckoning.
Sports is an easy way to get kids using their math muscles, even if it is just arguing over the best team in baseball, or about the longest losing streak in football.
Books such as Terri Dougherty's Greatest Football Records and Matt Doeden's Greatest Baseball Records will give kids some numbers to back up their arguments with, and also provide some mathematical workout as well.
Right now, kids can also use their math to follow the Detroit Tiger's lead in their division, and count down the days to the playoffs.
