FREE Minecraft Math Worksheets

I’m a teacher at three different private schools right now, in a position funded by the state of Pennsylvania. I teach students who struggle in Reading and Math as part of my job, and I personally believe you can teach most students how to do math with Minecraft. If you’re not familiar with this game, its available on many platforms (PC, Xbox, iPod, etc.), and many young kiddos (probably more boys than girls, but I have had female students who love Minecraft as well) love this game! This makes it an easy way to teach math because the kids are already into the game in the first place!

If you’re unfamiliar with Minecraft, watch our video below where we explain the basics of the game!

About Minecraft: (Source)

Minecraft is split into two separate game modes. Creative and Survival. You can play both of them in multiplayer. If you’re mostly interested in making huge structures from scratch with unlimited resources, Creative mode is your best bet. You won’t see any enemies, and you can pull blocks of all shapes and sizes out of thin air. It’s a peaceful world.

However, if you’d prefer to adventure into a world of danger, where you’re crafting and creating out of necessity, you’ll probably want to play in Survival mode. That comes with gangs of monsters who want to break/explode/eat your bones, one pixel at a time. You’ll need to protect yourself from the creatures that come out at night.
