How to print a football math worksheet
The opening sheet multiplies by six and three. Press Make a new sheet for new numbers, then Print. For another grade, open the Sheet type menu: kindergarten adds passes and kicks, and grade 2 adds yards and finds the distance to the goal line. Choose 4, 6 or 8 under Problems.
The football rules on these sheets
This is American football. A touchdown scores six points and a field goal three. After a touchdown a kick adds one point, or a two-point try adds two: the sevens and eights. A team has four downs to gain ten yards, and the goal lines are 100 yards apart.
- Sevens and eights is a way into two hard tables: every fact on it is a touchdown and its try.
- The ten-yard stories say exactly ten yards, because a first down needs at least ten.
Questions and answers
How many points is a touchdown worth?
Six. The team then tries for more: a kick adds one point, for seven, or a two-point try adds two, for eight. So 3 touchdowns with kicks are 21 points.
How many points is a field goal?
Three points. Four field goals score 12 points, the same as two touchdowns with no points after them.
How long is a football field?
The two goal lines are 100 yards apart, and an end zone of 10 yards lies behind each one, so the whole field is 120 yards long.
How many players are on the field in football?
Eleven from each team, so 22 players are on the field for a play.
How long is a football game?
Four quarters. They last 15 minutes each in college and professional games, 60 minutes of play, and 12 minutes each in high school games, 48 minutes.
