Shooting arcs, court angles, and box-score math.
Sports math applies real formulas to the games students follow: batting average and ERA in baseball, shooting percentages in basketball, passer rating in football, xG and group-stage points for soccer, plus golf and volleyball stats and the physics of speed, distance, and projectile motion.
Each sport pairs a plain-language formula with a calculator and links to the Formula Library, turning stats and game situations into approachable practice for ratios, percentages, and algebra.
6 formulas
Share of field goal attempts that went in (two-pointers and three-pointers).
Share of free throws made from the line.
Average points scored per game over a stretch or season.
A jump shot follows a parabola; higher arc can mean a softer landing angle at the rim.
Spacing drills often form right triangles: two legs along the sideline and baseline, hypotenuse the pass distance.
Effective field goal percentage (eFG%): counts made three-pointers as 1.5 two-pointers so deep shooting is valued fairly.
