What can be done to bring secondary mathematics courses in tempo with the present day needs and interests of the student? The purpose of this paper is to suggest a partial answer to this question. It is doubtless true that most boys and girls in the secondary school are far more interested in sports than in mathematics. Why not draw upon this common interest and bring sports into the mathematics classroom--or even take the mathematics classroom out to the field of sports? Such a question may seem unreasonable to those who have not given much thought to the possibility of approaching certain phases of mathematics through student interests in sports. Actually, such an approach is not at all unreasonable. The sports world offers practical examples of numerous mathematical relationships.
