Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
A box score is a table that reports what each player did in one game, using shortened column headings to save room. This worksheet teaches the two ways to read it: across one row for a single player, and down one column to compare everybody.
The reference box, the box score, and Section A are all on page 1. The reference box explains the abbreviations and how rows and columns are read, and carries the box score itself. Section A has eight questions answered directly from the document. Section B on page 2 has four short-response questions.
Page 3 is a complete answer key with answers for every item.
