COPY ISBN
Gr 4–6—Teachers will love this series that describes statistics in clear, succinct writing. Each volume encourages readers to do small word problems, such as calculating the area of a soccer pitch. The overviews of the figures tracked for each sport are detailed and thorough and descriptions of how knowing the background of the stat is more beneficial than just knowing the number allow the author to describe each game in depth. The colorful photographs are overlaid with ghostly math equations, a design element that was wholly unnecessary, but the layout is otherwise uncluttered.
VERDICT This is a series worth having in classrooms, but it won't get picked up by browsers.
