Even though you might think that when you go to a Mavs game ♥ you're there too have fun and enjoy the math free zone c; BUT, You're wrong (Because Basketball involves lots & lots of numbers c: Like the score, or whenever you make a 3 pointer you ADD 3 more points to the original score cx Not much but it still has to do with Math! (: Also In basketball, whenever a shot is taken, the player must calculate the angle of the shot, decide whether or not to use the backboard, and consider the locations of the opposing players. Also if you go to a Rangers game ♥ Math is to be found too (: For example, in baseball, a manager may decide to put on a "hit and run" play. The manager must decide that the person on base is actually fast enough to pull it off. Also, the hitter must calculate the speed of the pitch and time his swing to hit the ball in the right place to successfully pull off the play. When a batter swings the bat, he just isn't swinging to swing. He is swinging to hit the ball towards a particular location in the field.



The Cowboys involve math too for example: Math can relate to football when officials are figuring out how many yards there are to go. Math is also essential in the planning of plays because a passing play is like a triangle. The runner is one side, and the path of the ball is the hypotenuse. When making plays, you have to figure out just how far the ball would have to go for the player to intercept it.
