There will be acoin toss at the beginning to see which team will kickoff or receive.• The team that kicks will choose a card from the kickoff cards, which representsdifferent lengths of kicks. The ball will be marked on the overhead.• The teams will compete by working the problems given by the teacher.• Once the problem is given the teacher will wait 5-10 seconds and pull a number chip.The players from each team that represents the number drawn will get to answer theproblem. The person who answers first gets a first down or block for their respectiveteam.• If the offensive team gets blocked 3 times, they must go to the 4th down cards or tryfor a field goal (if they are inside the opposing team's 40 yard line). Passing cardsare allowed after every third play, as long as the offensive team has at least one firstdown.• Play continues until time runs out-usually about ½ hour.• The team with the most points wins. If tied, the team with the most first downs wins.If first downs are tied, then the winner is determined by most blocks.• Chalkboard is used to record points, first downs and blocks.MATHEMATICSMaterials:• Paper, pencil, chalk and chalkboard• Overhead projector and football field overhead• Math sheets and number chips• Cards for kickoff, 4th down pile and passingAssessment:• Teacher observation• Teacher visually checks problems worked on paper.New England Patriots Edition 67 Pro Football Hall of Fame Educational Outreach Program
