Objective
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to practice math skills while learning about Godzilla.
Materials and Prep
Materials needed: paper, pencil, calculator (optional)
Prior knowledge: Basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
Activities
Create a Godzilla Math Story: Write a story involving Godzilla where you incorporate math problems. For example, how many buildings did Godzilla destroy if he knocked down 5 buildings and then 3 more?
Design a Godzilla Math Board Game: Create a board game where players solve math problems to move Godzilla through the city. The first player to reach the end wins!
Godzilla Math Puzzles: Solve math puzzles related to Godzilla. For example, if Godzilla's tail is 50 meters long and his body is 80 meters long, how long is Godzilla in total?
Talking Points
- "Let's imagine Godzilla is in a city and he wants to know how many cars he can crush in 3 minutes. How can we figure that out?"
- "If Godzilla roars at a frequency of 200 Hz, how many times does he roar in a minute? Let's calculate together!"
- "Imagine Godzilla is sharing his snacks with his monster friends. If he has 12 cupcakes and 3 friends, how many cupcakes does each friend get?"
