Class Experience
Ages 7–9
Maths comes alive inside Minecraft. Young learners count, group, share and build their way through multiplication, fractions and shapes, one block at a time, finishing with a big Math Quest that uses everything they learned.
Every class is live on Zoom in a group of up to 4 children. The teacher shows a short idea, then the children build it themselves in Minecraft while the teacher guides each one. Each class ends with a small challenge, so children see they can use the skill on their own. There is a little practice to try between classes (about an hour a week), and the teacher checks progress through the builds and quick quizzes.
