We had a great time with Eleanor and Fiona exploring strategies to calculate the perimeter of circles and other two-dimensional shapes.  The practical work was done using Spike Prime Robots.  We had to plan and carry out measurements.  We worked in pairs.

Activity 1 – We  had to calculate how far a robot would travel when programmed to rotate its wheels a certain number of times.

Activity 2 – We had to program our robot to get as close to the lego figure as we could.

Activity 3 – We created a shape on the floor and then had to program the computer to travel along it’s perimeter.

We used a lot of Meta-skills.  We were communicating, creating, sense-making, focusing, adapting and collaborating.
