SuitabookBaseball by the numbers
Mary Elizabeth Salzmann
- Reading
- Browse the photographs first, then try a problem before turning to the answers. If baseball terminology is unfamiliar, use the brief game introduction as a starting point.
- Themes
- Baseball as a setting for maths: The book pairs number-based facts and a brief game introduction with story problems linked to photographs of offensive and defensive play. It presents baseball as a context for practising maths and reading comprehension.
- Worth knowing
- The maths problems are part of the reading experience, so consider whether your child would enjoy pausing to work them out as well as looking at the baseball photographs.
