🎮 Fortnite + Maths = The perfect combination!➕🧮
One of my learners is a huge Fortnite fan, so today's maths lesson was built entirely around something they love!
We played a Fortnite-inspired maths board game, where every move around the board came with a maths challenge. Along the way, we collected loot chests, building materials, shields and bonus rewards, making each question feel like part of the game rather than "just maths."
To develop number sense even further, we collected coins throughout the game and used concrete resources to represent each player's total. We then compared the amounts by adding and subtracting to work out who had more coins and by how many. Using practical resources alongside the game helped to make the maths visual, meaningful and fun.
This is a great example of how I adapt my sessions to each child's interests. By bringing something they're passionate about into the lesson, engagement increases, confidence grows and learning becomes something they genuinely look forward to.
Learning through play, following children's interests and making maths memorable is what tutoring is all about. 💙🎮✨
