Learners will each get a quadrilateral and be asked to have their Robot Mouse trace the perimeter. They will also practice having their mouse trace the perimeter of a floor tile. Using the provided paper, students can create a home or town for their Robot Mouse. They must create one algorithm on how their Mouse can travel from one spot to another. 

In this lesson, students will know the appearance of the moon changes in a specific pattern and repeat this sequence over the course of approximately 28 days. In addition, discuss that Earth’s rotation causes one side of planet Earth to receive light rays from the sun. Earth to receive light rays from the sun. This phenomenon is called day. (Understand, Key Concept 2). Discuss that Earth’s rotation causes one side of planet Earth not to receive light rays from the sun. This phenomenon causes darkness which is called night. Lesson integrates computer science using Bee-Bots

Day 1:
In this lesson, students will…
Use Bee-bots to trace the perimeter of a rectangle. They will then prove their findings with equations that match the path that they coded.

Day 2:
In this lesson, students will…
Use Bee-bots to “drive” the area of a rectangle. They will then prove their findings with equations that match the path that they coded.

Students will use the area model, repeat addition and standard multiplication strategies to multiply two digit numbers through a Computer Science Coding process.

Students will learn about spiders; naming the different parts of the spiders, how they get food, water and what they eat by coding the Spider (Dash) to get through the web.

The lesson will focus on the importance of understanding technical procedures from a text and following procedures in a specific sequence.

In this lesson, students will put their skills with area and perimeter to the test in order to plan out a school garden. They will solve problems to determine the length and width of a rectangle given a fixed area and varying perimeters, and a fixed perimeter and varying areas.

Students will be building their knowledge on computer science and comparing fractions. This lesson was originally created for 3rd grade standards but this lesson can be adapted for other grades. Students will use a Sphero bot to code and bowl!

In this lesson, students will be able to explain and apply the criteria used to evaluate both mathematical strategies and computer programming and how the two are related. The criteria for both will be based on efficiency (speed) and effectiveness (accuracy).
