Mr. Husson is using Minecraft EDU in his 4th-grade math classes for prime factorization. Using this digital program makes learning this concept both interactive and engaging. In a virtual Minecraft world, students can gather materials and build structures that represent different numbers, breaking them down into their prime factors. For instance, students might collect blocks to form a certain number and then "factor" it by arranging groups that represent its prime factors. By building and visually seeing how numbers are constructed from prime components, students develop a deeper, hands-on understanding of factorization. Using Minecraft EDU engages students and fosters problem-solving and critical thinking in a fun, immersive environment.
