If your kid likes sports, there are endless lessons to teach around it.

True, we’re going ice skating with him regularly, and it’s a great source of lessons. Doesn’t help very much with math, though :)

Baseball? Cricket? Soccer? Basketball? Football? They are all full of numbers - ie the comment was supposed to imply math lessons.

I know nothing about baseball, cricket and American football, they’re practically non-existent here. Basketball and soccer are full of numbers? For 3-4 years old they are. Maybe there could be some lessons for older kids, I just can’t think of how to spin it that way.

A month ago I told him an old and tired joke. 90 degrees is a right angle, and 100 degrees is when water boils (celsius FTW). He howled with laughter and sure knows now some things about angles and circles.

There are a lot of stats in basketball. There are measurements, counting, probabilities, geometry, algebra and calculus. You can do physics too.
