What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a secular, instructional book focused entirely on sports strategy and mathematics. The content is neutral and objective.
Ideal Reader
A 10 to 13-year-old who is obsessed with football, knows all the players and stats, but struggles to see the point of their math homework. They are likely a reluctant reader who will devour any book about sports. This book is for the child who learns best when the subject is directly tied to their personal interests.
Parent Prep
No preparation is necessary. The book explains all concepts from the ground up and is designed for independent reading. A parent unfamiliar with fantasy football could easily read it alongside their child and learn with them. A parent hears their child say, "Math is useless!" or "Why do I have to learn this?" The parent is looking for a way to connect their child's passion for sports with academic skills and demonstrate the real-world value of mathematics in a fun, accessible way.
