RWAV: 3D Minecraft Model of Mrs Ladds' Classroom

Thanks so much for your responses - Mrs Ladd a friend of Room Three's from North Carolina responded to our request for information about her classroom to Room Three, in New Zealand, the same day! We were thrilled with her amazing response which allowed the first group from Room Three to start to put together her classroom from her instructions. We had a lot of discussion about the phrase "the desks run together" and Mrs Ladd, being from the USA had all her measurements in feed, so we had to convert it to metric. We created a two dimensional plan, a birds eye view based on her instructions (although there were five created maps everything was slightly different!), then we used blocks to convert it to a basic 3D model and then build her classroom in Minecraft. This Google Presentation created by the students from Mackenna's Maths Group - they have yet to finish the project as they have some editing and tidying up to do. Thanks so much for all the responses that we've received from around the world, we're looking forward to producing models of your classrooms!

3d Model of the Third Grade Thinkers.

Brylee and Myself had a math project to complete in our class we had to choose a class anywhere around the world and we choose Third Grade Thinkers, Mrs Essenburg Michigan USA. luckily they responded to our comment and gave us heaps of information and photos of what their classroom looks like.  The students from Auroa Primary then created a 2d model of Mrs Essenburgs class, a 3d model of the class using plastic blocks and the final stage was to use Tinkercad to create a virtual model.  These screenshots are of the girls model.

8c Selwyn House in Minecraft

Yesterday in Mathematics our students started constructing a grid map of another classroom, in this case, Selwyn House in Christchurch. These photographs are of our Mathematics groups working. We would like to thank Tilly from 8C for her fantastic instructions and of course the teachers and students from Selwyn House for being available to collaborate with us on this project.

The next stage is to: refine our models and drawings, receive feedback to see if we are on the right track, look at the information that Tilly and Selwyn House have supplied to us, see what needs to be checked - are there any further questions that we now have? What are we not sure about?
