What educators are saying

My students loved using this resource. The amount of creativity that they were able to use made them feel like they weren't even doing work. I loved the self reflection piece of this assignment. The rubric was very helpful for the students as well.

Description

Looking for a way to incorporate STEM into your math lesson? Do you need an extension activity for early finishers? Volumeville is a STEM challenge where students use their understanding of volume of rectangular prisms to build a town on Minecraft Education. Specifically, students are working on the following learning targets:

Learning Target 1: I can solve for volume of rectangular prisms in real-world context.

Learning Target 2: I can solve for composite volume in real-world context.

When I used this product in my own classroom, I had it as an extension for my gifted learners and early finishers. However, this could easily be used as a culminating project or a project if you know you will be absent a few days.

Students will need access to Minecraft Education.
