Turn math practice into an unforgettable stadium adventure!
In this engaging, cross-curricular challenge, students complete six football-themed “downs” to uncover the hidden GPS coordinates of a legendary stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Each down combines real-world research with multi-step math. When students solve all six challenges, they assemble the coordinate, enter it into a satellite map, and watch their mystery destination appear!
Perfect for grades 4–8, this activity transforms order of operations practice into a meaningful mission filled with football, geography, astronomy, history, and discovery.
Students will practice:
Order of operations and multi-step expressions
Exponents and cubing
Multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction
Place value, decimals, and leading zeros
Researching real-world facts
Reading and following multi-step directions
Building and entering GPS coordinates
Geography, map skills, and problem-solving
What’s included in this 12-page PDF:
Engaging mystery-stadium introduction
Teacher directions and differentiation ideas
Student pre-game instructions and answer scoreboard
Six themed math-and-research challenges
Dedicated workspace for showing calculations
Coordinate-building activity
Satellite-map discovery challenge
Post-game discussion questions
Four extension activities
Complete teacher answer key
Flexible classroom use:
Complete the entire quest in one 45–60-minute lesson
Assign one “down” each day for a week
Use it for independent work, partner practice, or small groups
Create six stations with one challenge at each station
Add it to a football-themed math day or sports unit
Use it as an enrichment activity, early-finisher challenge, or substitute lesson
Students may research the required facts independently, or teachers can provide the values so students can focus entirely on the math. Calculators may also be permitted when adapting the activity for different ability levels.
Can your students conquer all six downs, assemble the hidden coordinate, and drop the pin on the Frozen Fortress?
Recommended for: Grades 4–8
Estimated time: 45–60 minutes
Materials needed: Printed workbook and access to a research device or reference materials
