| Description | Students practice their multiplication skills using robots with wheels built from LEGO® MINDSTORMS® kits. They brainstorm distance travelled by the robots without physically measuring distance and then apply their math skills to correctly calculate the distance and compare their guesses with physical measurements. Students practice their multiplication skills using robots with wheels built from LEGO® MINDSTORMS® kits. They brainstorm distance travelled by the robots without physically measuring distance and then apply their math skills to correctly calculate the distance and compare their guesses with physical measurements. Through this activity, students estimate parameters other than by physically measuring them, practice multiplication, develop measuring skills, and use their creativity to come up with successful solutions. |
