What if basketball was played on a circular court? What if footballs were round? In this book, readers will find out how shapes affect the way different sports are played. From basic squares and rectangles to exact measurements and sport-specific shapes, readers will learn why most sports have rules about shape and size. Colorful and clear graphics, such as maps, charts, and infographics, give readers an alternative to text-heavy sources. Action-based activities will leave students with real-life methods for exploring concepts. This book also includes a glossary, index, suggested reading and websites, and a bibliography.
