Inspired by some newsletter comments and resources from Chris Smith (twitter.com/aap03102) I thought I would try out some Fortnite Maths!
Based on the popular game (that most of my year 9 play), I outlined a quick task during a P5 lesson. See resource.
Interesting reaction…
And on the whole some work was completed.
Moving in to a later lesson we may have then had one of our most productive lessons ever. Just using this as a resource:
We covered bearings, back bearings, scales (I made up a scale of 2.4km to 1cm on the printed sheet) and conversions. Everything measured from Tilted Towers!
My next challenge to the students is to find out the ACTUAL scale of the map I handed out. No takers yet…
