- Let students explore! Give the time to play with it and come up with their own codes.
- Let students be the teacher! Let the students learn own their own and teach YOU!
- Encourage failure! Let students know that this classroom is a safe environment for them to try, fail, and try again!
- Coding and robotics is NOT only for science!!!
Coding with Bee Bots:
Math:
- Adding & Subtracting: have the students roll two dice, add or subtract, code the bot to go to the sum.
- Mapping: code locational coordinaates to navigate a map.
- Even & odd numbers: have students roll the die, if they get an even number they code the bot to go up the ladder, if they get an odd number they code the bot to go down the ladder.
- Colors & Shapes: code the bot to go to certain colors and/or shapes.
Literacy:
- Spelling words: one student draws a card and the other spells the word on the card using the bot to move from letter to letter.
- Short stories: prepared drawings on the board and have students tell the key events from the story using the bee bot.
- Retell: have students to use the bee bot to retell events from a story
