Football Maths – AFL-Inspired Maths Activities for the Australian Classroom 🏉📊

Australians take their footy seriously—and now your students can apply that same passion to mathematics! This AFL Maths Pack turns football fever into powerful learning by combining real-world sporting scenarios with differentiated, targeted maths tasks.

This resource includes a full week of engaging AFL-themed maths activities, designed to support independent work while allowing you to focus on small-group instruction based on student needs. Each student sets a maths goal—whether it’s addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division—and works through tasks that reflect their personal learning focus.

Here’s how the week unfolds:

• Monday – What maths does your footy team use? Students identify the role of numbers in AFL, select a favourite football number, and create related equations (including BODMAS challenges!).
  Tuesday – Dive into data with mean, mode, and median. Use the included poster to explore stats like a pro.
  Wednesday – Calculate the cost of a day at the footy. Students solve real-life money problems using prompts or independent research.
  Thursday – Empower students with voice and choice by crafting their own football-related inquiry question.
  Friday – Reflect and review. Students finalise their tasks and submit evidence of learning. Finish with a PMI chart (Plus, Minus, Interesting) on maths in football.

This resource makes AFL more than a game—it becomes a dynamic context for numeracy. With structured guidance and opportunities for independent inquiry, your students will see maths as something practical, meaningful, and even fun!

• Ideal for Years 2–6
