Moving at the Speed of Creativity | Great STEM Conversations About Perimeter in Minecra... - 0 views

  •

These photos of whiteboard math from today's classes may look messy, but they represent some SUPER conversations with my students who were figuring out the different ways they could build a corral in MinecraftEDU that has an EXACT perimeter of 24 blocks."
