Students learn about coordinates (X, Y, Z).
Learn about the three-coordinate grid represented by (X, Y, Z) coordinates and the difference between relative position and world position.
By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
- Describe the difference between relative coordinates and absolute coordinates in real life.
- Identify their real-world position and calculate the position of a landmark or object relative to their position.
- Describe the difference between relative player position and absolute world position in Minecraft.
- Understand the importance of coordinates in coding and while playing Minecraft.
- Alter the Minecraft landscape by coding with coordinates.
- Design an original creative project to apply their coding skills in new ways.
