In this #Shorts, I show you how to use Minecraft to approximate the value of pi. We compute the number of slimes that die in a circle and divide by the total number of slimes that die. Since the area of the circle is pi and the area of the square is 4, this ratio is approximately pi/4.
This is a great activity for students to do when there's a substitute teacher!
