Blue Bots

Blue Bots!

We have been studying mapping in Mathematics this week. Part of this unit involves making pathways using left and right turns and steps forward and backwards. 

We have been using the blue bot robots to help us practice our mapping skills. The children have been drawing and then writing their own pathways (simple computer programs really). Once they have completed it they have been entering their pathway into the bot, then setting it off to see if the bots path matches their drawing. 

Sooooo much fun!!!!
