Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to apply math concepts in a fun and engaging way while exploring your interest in Fortnite.

Materials and Prep

• A computer or gaming console with access to Fortnite
• Paper and pencil for taking notes and solving math problems
• Basic understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

Activities

• Activity 1: Loot Math - Use your math skills to calculate the total value of the loot you collect in a Fortnite match. Add up the value of each item you find and keep track of your total throughout the game.

• Activity 2: Building Battle - Practice your multiplication skills by calculating the number of materials needed to build different structures in Fortnite. For example, if each wall requires 10 materials, how many materials do you need to build 5 walls?

• Activity 3: Storm Survival - Use your subtraction skills to determine how long you have until the storm closes in. Calculate the time remaining based on the storm's current position and the distance you need to cover to reach the safe zone.

• Activity 4: Weapon Upgrade - Apply your division skills to determine the percentage increase in damage when upgrading a weapon in Fortnite. Calculate the new damage output based on the original damage and the upgrade percentage.
