Sport provides one of the very best real-world contexts for teaching maths. Whether its calculating scores, measuring distances or analysing statistics children can see the direct application of maths in the sports they love. The passion that many children have for sports can be harnessed to motivate them in the classroom.

Whilst we have sports related pages across the year groups, especially for measurement, you may not know that we have a separate SPORT category, tucked away in our Further Resources. The Football League Tables from England, Spain, Italy and France, with both men and women, are very popular, as well as American MLS tables.

We also have sport related maths resources on cricket, tennis and archery, plus much more.
