Around 1:57 he starts throwing out ways, one of them including probability in Minecraft. I think this video is just a good start for brain storming to get some ideas out there since we all said we weren't sure how we were going to relate this to math. There's a lot of other articles about it on google so I recommend checking it out just to get us started and thinking! Here's the link to the YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RI0BN5AWOe8#!]]> 2017-09-13 23:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/187384084 rhahn3 https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/188093877 https://www.eschoolnews.com/2014/12/01/minecraft-lesson-ideas-243/2/ This article gives good insight on how it can be used to follow Common Core math. ]]> 2017-09-15 20:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/188093877 https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/188459368 Hi there,
You're off to a good start here!]]> 2017-09-18 13:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/188459368 alehump https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/188487241

This article shows how Minecraft has math problems to challenge your child. There are two videos to show you that you will also use surface area and volume in the game as well.]]> 2017-09-18 21:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/188677956 cpurice https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/189556373 After reading everyone's articles here, I was thinking it would be a good idea if we tried to picked what type of math we want to focus on for our project. Do we want to keep it more simple like multiplication and division or throw in things like probability as well? I saw division mentioned in two of the articles that you guys shared but I'm open to anything. The rubric says we have exactly 10 minutes for our presentation so I think we should consider that while picking what to focus on. I also babysit some kids who have Minecraft books so I'll see if I can borrow those from them so we can look through them because downloading it on the computer costs money. ]]> 2017-09-20 22:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/189556373 cpurice https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/191884631 Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a lesson out of this without having the actual minecraft online game? I looked up Minecraft math worksheets but it's not really what we're looking for. ]]> 2017-09-27 21:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/191884631 https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/193654000 Hi all,
Is the Minecraft app free?  If so, I can have IT have it uploaded

Just giving you an update.  We have a little over one month left before we will begin presenting this project in class.  Remember you need the following:
1. a presenation
2. a handout
3. a lesson plan]]> 2017-10-03 21:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/193654000 alehump https://padlet.com/cpurice/duk1nwasmxc8/wish/195724719 So in order to do more for our project, it would be best if we had minecraft and use it hands on to figure what math we can use for it.  The kids I nanny use it so I can maybe look at it on their iPads, but researching online will not be enough. 
Any ideas?
