How To Help Your Children With Their Maths Via Playing Sport
Both of my kids have a keen love of sport as I do. I have utilised this love of sport as a way of helping them to improve their maths and will explain how I do this within this article. Playing the sports themselves is also very good for them as a way of keeping them fit and away from the television, which most children watch far too much of in my opinion.
I will use my five year old son as an example of how I use different sports to help him with his maths. I still remember the first time I thought about including maths in a sport. I basically did it just by chance, it was not exactly planned. My son loves playing cricket and originally we would take a bat and ball to a local park and use the dustbin as a wicket. When he was about four I decided to introduce the concept of runs into the game for the first time. If he reached the tree with one of his shots he would score two runs, if he reached the fence he would score four runs and if he reached the fence without the ball hitting the ground he would score 6 runs.
Every time he played a scoring shot I would then ask him how many runs he now had, for example eight plus two. Obviously at the start he made quite a few mistakes when adding up the scores but he soon picked up how to add either two, four or six to any given number.
I then thought about which other sports that I could also use to help him with his maths. There are without doubt a large array of sports where you could do a similar thing - personally we used rugby and snooker.
I have to say that the sport of snooker is just about the ideal one to use as each colour is worth a different amount of points - yellow two points, green three points, brown four points, blue five points, pink six points and the black seven points.
I am sure that many other parents could use these same ideas to help their own children to develop their adding up skills in maths.

Christine Ebersole Sings the Apocalypse (thepoliticker.observer)
Former 'Weekend Update' anchor Ebersole.
There’s a ripe adjective to describe every flavored, favored aspect of
Christine Ebersole’s versatility, and before she throws in the towel and does
something besides entertain, like run for president, the critics will probably
get around to using them all. For now, I can think of only one—sensational!
In her elegant, witty and intelligent new show at Café Carlyle, she serves up
a thoughtful, incisive master class in how to enhance cabaret and keep it
alive with fresh new insights that should be required viewing by aspiring
performers everywhere. She calls it “The End of the World as We Know It.”_ _I
call it “Christine Ebersole Sings the Apocalypse.”_ _She does it with such
panache that the swinging Matt Dennis evergreen _“_Show Me the Way to Get Out
of This World” has never been more relevant. When she shakes her saffron
yellow curls and smiles her survival grin in Technicolor, she makes the end of
the old world, the beginning of a new one, and everything in between seem as
rare and giddy as a Disney cow.
The premise, of course, is only an umbrella that gives her a lot ...
