March Madness Math

I LOVE MARCH MADNESS!!! It's my favorite time of year for sports, and that is saying a lot since I consider myself an allround sports fan. I love following conference tournaments, selection Sunday and then the Big Dance.

This year is a little different because Corbin is showing interest in basketball as well. He especially loves watching Gonzaga and Kansas play. He is learning the basics of the game, but more than that, he is practicing his numbers and math. He is reading the scores- which helps him recognize his numbers 1-100. He is learning to count by 2s and 3s. He is practicing subtracting as he figures out the difference between the score. He is even practicing his time, by keeping track of how many minutes are left in the half. The best part- he doesn't even realize he is doing math. He is just enjoying watching basketball and learning about the game.

Chalk that up to another reason to LOVE March Madness! Let the (math) Madness BEGIN!
