For Numeracy this week we have been looking at compass directions. We have worked on reading maps using the 8 main directions - North, South, East, West, North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West and then we moved onto using Beebots and our knowledge of compass directions to get a Beebot through the grid to various locations.
We had to program the Beebot with our own algorithm, using forward's, backward's, turn right, turn left and N, S, E, W. It was important that we regularly tested our algorithm to check we didn’t need to debug (find a problem and fix it).
Question time: have you ever written an algorithm for something? Have you ever had to use a compass for something?
Kia ora Zoe,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your work with us, I really like how you posted the map on here. I actually really enjoy reading maps, I don't know why. Next time you could give us some directions to follow or something fun like that. Also, I have had to use a compass it wasn't fun. Anyway I hope you have a fantastic day.
