Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to apply geometric concepts to analyze and solve problems related to Fortnite gameplay.

Materials and Prep

Materials: Pen, paper, computer or tablet with access to Fortnite.
Prep: Understanding of basic geometric concepts such as angles, shapes, and measurements.

Activities

• Activity 1: Analyze Fortnite Map - Use geometric concepts to identify and describe different shapes and angles within the Fortnite map. Note how these elements impact gameplay.

• Activity 2: Build Structures - Apply knowledge of area and perimeter to optimize building structures in Fortnite. Calculate the area of walls or the perimeter of a base.

• Activity 3: Angle Measurement - Use protractor or in-game tools to measure and classify angles encountered during gameplay. Discuss how angles affect aiming and shooting.

Eighth Grade Talking Points
