Integer Football Welcome to Integer Football! It’s the POSITIVES versus the NEGATIVES. Move the football player along the football field to demonstrate addition of positive and negative integers. A completed pass or run for positive yards gets the POSITIVES closer to the 50 unit line where they will win the game. A tackle for a loss or a fumble brings the POSITIVES closer to the -50 unit line where the NEGATIVES will win the game. Print off the offensive and defensive plays on the third slide and cut them out. Have students choose one at a time. Check out the tips on the second slide for setting up the game.

TIPS Printing only one slide: Be sure to choose ‘slides’ in the Print Dialogue box after clicking ‘File’, ‘Print’. Don’t run the show in ‘Slideshow’ mode – you won’t be able to move the football player up and down the field! To make the slide as big as possible, remove your ‘TOOLBARS’. Go to the ‘View’ menu, click on ‘Toolbars’, and click on each item that has a check mark next to it to ‘hide’ that toolbar. Remove the ‘SLIDE SORTER’ on the left hand side of the screen by clicking on the ‘x’ in the top right corner of the pane.
