In full disclosure, I had very little knowledge of the game. However, I did know that it was possible to build large buildings with large blocks. I thought this would be a great way to practice finding the volume of rectangular prisms.
The Lesson:
In Minecraft, students were instructed to go to the "Create" option in the main menu. Students worked in pairs to create their rectangular prisms. They had to find the volume of their prisms and take a screenshot to show me.
Afterwards, students were instructed to use the app to explore other students prisms and figure out their volumes as well.
