Activities
-
Task: Counting Crewmates
Description: Draw different crewmates from Among Us on a piece of paper. Count the number of crewmates you have drawn and write the number next to them.
-
Task: Addition with Suspects
Description: Write down the names of three Among Us suspects on a piece of paper. Assign a value to each suspect (e.g., Red = 5, Blue = 3, Yellow = 2). Add up the values of the suspects to find the total.
-
Task: Subtraction with Impostors
Description: Write down the names of two Among Us impostors on a piece of paper. Assign a value to each impostor (e.g., Impostor 1 = 7, Impostor 2 = 4). Subtract the value of the second impostor from the value of the first impostor to find the difference.
First Grade Talking Points

- "In Among Us, we can use math to count crewmates and solve mysteries."
- "Adding means putting numbers together to find the total."
- "Subtracting means taking away one number from another to find the difference."
- "We can assign values to characters in Among Us and use those values to solve math problems."
