Teach With Sports
The kid who won't do ten math problems will happily compute a quarterback's completion percentage. We turn real games — this week's actual scores — into math, language, and data lessons, with a live classroom contest running alongside.
The Desk: create assignments, auto-generate quizzes from real games, and collect student submissions — quizzes grade themselves.
📅 BUILT FROM THIS WEEK'S REAL GAMES
Not a static workbook — the worksheet generator pulls last week's actual final scores, so the problems are about games your students watched.
The lesson library
Ready-to-teach prompts by subject and grade band — pair any of them with the live worksheet for numbers that update every week.

🏆 The live classroom contest
Lessons stick when there's a scoreboard. Run a real contest alongside the unit: a free game of skill where students pick the week's winners straight up, the class leaderboard updates as real games go final, and — optionally — the teacher lists prizes (extra credit, homework passes, front-of-lunch-line) for the top of the table.
$0
Always free to play
Entry price zero = a game of skill, not chance. No money anywhere near the classroom.
Live
Real games, real standings
Picks lock at kickoff, scores flow in automatically, and Monday's class starts with a leaderboard reveal.
Optional
Prizes if you want them
List classroom rewards at setup — or run it for pure bragging rights. Your call.
Pick “Confidence Picks” or “Survivor”, set the entry price to $0, choose straight-up winners, and invite the class.
