Remote Coding -for Blue-Bots only
Advanced Topics
The 77 lessons include multiple activities that use the floor robot as well as theBlue-Bot Online Emulatorthat runs in any browser. Many of the 250+ emulator activities use enhanced features not available in the free version, thus expanding the learning experiences for students.
Some lessons use Blue-Bot’s special features, such as 45° turns and repeat loops, available in the Online Blue-Bot Emulator and when using theTacTile ReaderandTacTile Reader Extension Tile Pack. Students who are familiar with Bee-Bot may be excited to try some of these new features. Some Remote Coding activities do not apply to Bee-Bots, as Bee-Bot is not Bluetooth-enabled and can’t connect to the TacTile Code Reader.
Using these classroom and online tools, young students practice counting and place value, learn to estimate and measure distances, and investigate time and money. Older students can explore the perimeter and area of shapes, take classroom surveys and create bar graphs of the results, and compare fractions—all with their favourite robot. The Teacher Guide explains how to make all activities easier or more challenging to accommodate all students.
Recommended Materials for each chapter include the Transparent Pocket Mat, along with other math manipulatives commonly found in the classroom, such as rulers, dice, and dominoes. The TacTile Code Reader with the Extension Tile Pack allows students to control Blue-Bot remotely with more turns and loops. These materials are not required, but give students a more complete experience.
Resourcesinclude PDFs that you can download and print. Their images and text labels are perfect to use with the Card Mat. Also included is a Student Record Form to keep track of student progress.
Exploring Math with Blue-Botis available as a site license for one year. All teachers in your school can use the same access code. Students use a 4-digit code to access the online activities.
