Core Curricular Tie: Math
Explanation:
This book covers multiple types of math in multiple sections. I would therefore use it through many parts of the year by connecting each section to its corresponding type of math. In fact, I would like to obtain my own copy of this book and the others in the series. I have been looking for read aloud books to fit with math and this seems like the perfect fit.
Rationale:
Students have asked me over and over again during the years, "Why do I need to learn this math?". This is usually followed by, "I'll never use this again." I chose this book to help answer that question. It shows that math is used in many ways in many sports. In this case it's football, however other books in this same series connect to other sports. Since sports are important to many of my students, this book becomes even more important as well.

What a great opportunity for kids to see great pictures of football and be introduced to the concepts of how scores are calculated, what the measurements are, the 10-yard lines, etc.
A student has read and given us his impression of the book: This book was a good source of information. I think 7-year-old and older kids could read it. Overall I liked this book and would recommend it to everyone. I really liked the way they put football and math together. I also enjoyed the question and answer parts. (Reviewed by Stuart M.)
