Learning Through ... Videogames?

What if you could combine something that kids are obsessed with in their free time, with learning math?  This is exactly what Educade has done by providing in depth lesson plans for teachers which are focused on using Minecraft in order to teach Math.
Minecraft is a sandbox type game that allows the user to be creative and create structures in an online world. Unexpectedly, Minecraft became a cultural phenomenon after being released as a free to play game on PC.
Educade has created lessons for all grades, with areas such as arithmetic, geometry, probability, trigonometry, algebra, and calculus. It seems like an amazing way to make math fun and engage students as its a game that all ages have embraced. The one drawback though, is you can expect parents to raise an eyebrow when they see their child playing videogames and claiming they're just doing their homework!
