the team would have made according to the score. Like, if the score is 31-17, Team W (winning) would have scored 4 touchdowns and a field goal (4x7=28+3=31), and Team L (losing) would have scored 2 touchdowns and a field goal (2x7=14+3=17). If he can do this, and most boys can if they like sports and watch them often, you might be surprised by just how much math he really knows.

• Good idea...ds actually does this on his own while watching a game and has learned 7's tables (to some extent!). nt - Sue G in PA 20:43 Jan 11 (0)
