Abstract:This article describes an activity that integrates Bee-Bot robots, to engage first-grade students in creating different geometric shapes. In this activity, students work collaboratively to program Bee-Bots to move on a specific path with two markers attached to the Bee-Bots to create a geometric shape on a sheet of paper. After exploring the robots, first-grade students are asked to create geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, and circles. Students write and test their programs, then observe the drawin… Show more
