Students like Hudson are always amazing me with the ways they use Minecraft to explain their thinking. On Friday, many classrooms were celebrating the 100th day of school and were doing math activities using the number 100. When we talked with Hudson about how he would represent 100 he decided to show us...
“I made groups of 10 with different coloured blocks, and then made signs that counted by 10s to 100.” Then he went on to explain all the different ways he could represent 100 in Minecraft, including by 5s, 20s and 25s.
Just like Hudson showed us today, there are many ways to experience math and learn concepts while having fun.
