Teaching Mathematical Concepts using LEGO Robotics
Area(s) of Focus: technologyDivision(s): Intermediate, JuniorLevel(s): Grade 4, Grade 5, Grade 6, Grade 7Resource(s) Available:Computational literacy skills allow students to analyze a problem and come up with a variety of solutions to solve an open-ended problem. Our goal was to design a series of lessons, both with and without robotics, to address this fundamental skill.
