I am a middle school teacher in Michigan, teaching MinecraftEdu as a stand alone 12 week class. This blog chronicles my experiences and my student's experiences, as we explore how to teach and learn in a MinecraftEdu classroom!

Math!!!!
The 7th grade is starting building for our world religions unit. The step after writing their essays is finding a building and converting the measurements into minecraft block measurements. The first part of this process, is searching up blueprints and floor plans to get the various lengths, widths, and heights of their building. After that, they convert the measurements into yards, then into minecraft blocks. One block in minecraft is equal to 3 yards. Some of them are then realizing that they have to size their building up or down to make it proportional to the other buildings in the world. It's a lot of math!!
