Engage Students in Math Discussions with Minecraft Models
Encourage student discussions on math concepts using Minecraft models. Help students identify patterns, form strategies, and write mathematical equations based on the models. Utilize the slideshow to enhance understanding and critical thinking skills in a 15-minute interactive session. Assess student progress through notebook activities tracking computation, question generation, patterns, and logical reasoning.

3.OA.1 Repeated Addition Opening Slideshow The purpose of this slideshow is to have your students generate discussions about math and encourage them to change their statements to questions. They should share patterns they observe and come up with strategies that connect the Minecraft math model with the concepts of the standard. Finally they should be able to write mathematical equations based on the Minecraft math model. The slideshow should take no more than 15 minutes. Students will have math notebooks and pencils, graph paper and colored pencils work really well for this. To use this slideshow 1) Show the picture and brainstorm with your students the board. Have students find the pattern between the model and the math. Students will write their brainstorm ideas, questions, and drawings in their notebooks. 1) Come up with a strategy to translate the model into as many mathematical equations as possible and solve. 1) Go to the next slide. Your students the notebooks will be used in assessment to track not only math computation but also higher level skills such as question generation, pattern observation, and lines of logic.
