Mathcraft, Math + Minecraft - Online Summer Camp

That's a great question. So the course is actually split into younger and older grades, and in the MathCraft Minecraft Server built for this class, there are different areas that are sectioned off for different scaffolded grade levels, and each of these areas contains math projects and math games that are grade level appropriate. When Minecraft Math projects are being built, older students like a 6th grader works on basic algebra and geometry, say in building a parthenon and finding the perimeter, surface area, and volume, while younger students such as a K or 1st grader works on building a house and counting the number of blocks around the house to find length and width, and then counting these up to find the perimeter. Classes are small enough to be able to break them up into groups by grades. -

This course utilizes a special Minecraft Server where CodeREV houses its MathCraft worlds, which it has built custom over 6 years of honing and testing over thousands of campers and students. So each student joins the secure server with a couple of clicks at the start of their camp once they've been invited, and then class takes place together as a group, led by the MathCraft teacher inside of the server. The way that this takes shape is that students and campers interact together and work together building math projects, being guided in-game by their live instructor, but they also work together to complete fun MathCraft mini games we've created, where they work together to solve math problems as they explore mazes and castles like the MathCraft Mansion and Haunted MathCraft Castle. Campers can see the lesson that their MathCraft teacher demos to them by viewing these in-game inside CodeREV's Minecraft server, or also through our screen share using Zoom Enterprise. -

Hi there Paul! This is actually Minecraft Java Edition, not Minecraft Education Edition. Yes, you would want your own license, ideally, for this class (it's a lifetime license). Alternatively, you can email us at register@coderevkids.com, and we can walk you through some options to help out. Thank you! -
