ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The objective is to create a game for students to measure distances and the calculation of angles.
The teacher will draw a geometric figure on a paper board with different color cards, red for the edges and green cards for the vertices.
Students will have to go through these figures with the mBot through requests that the software will ask the user.
FIRST VERSION
The activity consists in create a game for students to measure distances and the calculation of angles. The teacher will draw a geometric figure on a paper board with different color cards, red for the edges and green cards for the vertices and checkpoints. Then, students will have to go through these figures with the mBot through requests that the software will ask the user.
The first step, is design the paper board (you can find in the Activities Resources) and the different cards:
The first step is create the software for the game:
The second step is develop the temporizator code to mBot Ranger:
The third step, is play and enjoy:
SECOND VERSION
We worked on geometry in this activity. We calculated the outside angle of an equilateral polygon. From the user, it is necessary to know how many edges and equilateral polygons should precede the MBot; and then how many centimetres each side should be. The motion is again v = x / t formula.
In this activity, we calculated the area and circumference of the geometric bodies. We have defined the formula for each object separately.
