Shapes and Math

PLATFORM:

(Minecraft Education Edition for PC / Mac, Ipads, Tablets, Phones, and Chromebook)

SKILL LEVEL:

This program requires basic proficiency with computers and some prior experience with Minecraft.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

Like all EduMEE programs, this class offers a project-based, exploratory classroom environment that sits at the intersection of learning and playing. After all, kids learn the most through play!

Students learn to build fractions and identify parts and wholes using shapes in Minecraft.

In this session you will:

• look at math models and find the fraction of each piece
• use the blocks and build a structure and find the fraction for each piece
• Build the same shape as your partner but use your set of pieces
• and much more…

PARENTS:

Students will be exploring concepts of Mathematics while playing a game of Minecraft. A US State-certified teacher will guide students through the lesson and pose guiding questions. Some of the 21st-century skills being taught are creativity and critical thinking.

This is a 1.5-hour course that balances discussion time with plenty of hands-on experience so students can cement what they’re learning and explore the topics they’re interested in. We combine Minecraft with education so your child can engage their passions as they learn in a positive, interest-driven environment.

Please note that we will be providing all students with a username and Minecraft Education Account so that we can add them to our safelist. Students will also be checking in via MS Teams so we can have audio and video contact. Once video confirmation has been established students can turn off the camera and just use audio for communication during the game.
