Minecraft Math Challenge

Build a house in creative mode.

Make a house with wood blocks, stone blocks, and glass panes, and blocks of your choice.
Your house needs to be:

  • 1/3 stone blocks
  • 3/8 glass panes
  • 1/12 wood blocks
  • 5/24 blocks of your choice

Tell me how many total blocks you used to build your house. (Make a sign with this information)

Tell me how many of each block you used to make your house. Tell me the fraction (Make a sign of this in front of your house)

To present it, take screen shots of your house and the signs. Then, make a Google Presentation about what your project was and how you worked to solve it.

Your presentation will be assessed on creativity and accuracy.

Good Luck!
