Objective
By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to understand basic math concepts through fun activities related to Roblox, as well as improve their English vocabulary by describing their favorite Roblox games and characters.
Materials and Prep
- Paper and pencil for writing and drawing
- A timer or stopwatch (can use a phone timer)
- Roblox game or character ideas (the student can think of their favorites)
- Basic math problems (addition, subtraction, and simple multiplication)
Before the lesson, ensure the student has access to their favorite Roblox games or characters for reference. Prepare a few simple math problems that can be related to Roblox, such as counting items or characters.
Activities
-
Roblox Character Math
Ask the student to choose their favorite Roblox characters. Then, create simple math problems based on the number of characters they choose. For example, if they choose 5 characters, ask them how many more they would need to have 10 characters.
