Maths at our house: watching sport together

Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site by the end of August 2024. Maths content is still being migrated onto Tāhūrangi, and we will be progressively making enhancements to Tāhūrangi to improve the findability and presentation of content.

Distances, times, scores… sport is filled with numbers! Whether you are watching sport on TV, reading the sports pages in the newspaper, or checking scores on the internet there are lots of opportunities to explore the results and statistics together with your child. Research shows that when children are working in maths contexts that interest them, they do better. Sport is a way to put some maths thinking and practice into a time you spend together.
