Instructional Ideas

• Using a large map, plot the stadiums in which every Super Bowl has occurred
• Have learners create a graph of the number of Super Bowl games each team has won and lost
• Use the game statistics in each Super Bowl to create various math problems

Classroom Considerations

• Navigate to the Super Bowls not listed on the website by typing in any year after 1968 onto the end of the URL in the address bar. For example: change "2010" in Super Bowl XLIV URL to "2011" to see Super Bowl XLV
• Ensure the class has access to the Internet to explore the resource

Pros

• The opportunities are endless in creating activities around the data and text provided for each Super Bowl
• Each Super Bowl includes information on where and when the game was played, an interview with one of the players, statistics of the game, a brief video with highlights, pictures from the game, and notable pop culture events that occurred in that year

Cons

• Not all of the years are listed on the interactive; however, the URLs in the address bar can be manipulated to find them
