    Hi Brian,

    I love the idea of using Minecraft for extending and growing patterns. Not only is it engaging for students because they love Minecraft, but it gives them a strong visual representation than most traditional methods would. I would absolutely have them work in groups which would allow them to support each other with the math and the software.

    Great job!

    Hey Brian,
    I have used Minecraft in math and science quite a bit. It’s a hands on engaging way to teach concepts like patterns.
    For assessment in a gr 3 class I first looked at whether the pattern and pattern rule was correct. I then looked at the complexity of the pattern – was it something simple and easily made or did the student go beyond to build something more complex.
