Problem Solving - Football Problems

This Teachers TV lesson starter video presents a problem based on a football team. It is time for the seven-a-side football team to have their photograph taken. Unfortunately, the photographer only knows the goalkeeper's name, so he uses number clues to position the players so he can take the best team photograph. Students can follow the clues to work out where each player should stand. It is suggested that the video is paused after each clue to allow students time to work out the solution at each step of the problem.
