My Project

Magnetic Minecraft blocks are a fantastic resource for teaching geometry. My students will learn more through strategic play than they will through only utilizing traditional curriculum resources. Students will use these blocks to comprehend the concepts based on geometry, and that is just for starters!

Students need hands-on materials and manipulatives in order to understand new concepts and magnetic blocks will help them immensely!

I love that these magnetic blocks can assist me in teaching geometry and all of the other players in the game of mathematics!

I also appreciate that these blocks will build their knowledge in engineering, the scientific method, physics, and so many other disciplines. I will see less stress and more success!
