University of Cambridge: Maths and Sports: What's the Point of Squash?

Curated by ACT

Squash isn't an Olympic sport (yet!) but it has an interesting scoring system. If you reach 8-all in a game of squash, when should you decide to play to 9 points rather than 10? This activity is a starting point for mathematical investigation, and is designed to be accessible to students at Key Stages 4 and 5.
