OzoSym

Mathematical focus of this simple activity is on the symmetry effects on describing a figure. The activity can be extended in order to focus it more on coding top

Material:

OZOBOTs we suggest to have an Ozobot every two students.

Card with Path

Procedure:

• STEP 1

Write a code for moving the OZOBOT on a rectangular trajectory on the provided grid: in this step please avoid using repetition cycle.

Upload the code on the OZOBOT and run it.

• STEP 2

Write a code for moving the OZOBOT on a square trajectory: in this step please avoid using repetition cycle.

Upload the code on the OZOBOT and run it.

Is there any difference in coding a rectangular or a square trajectory at this level?

• STEP 3

Write a code for moving the OZOBOT on a rectangular trajectory, using repetition cycle.

Upload the code on the OZOBOT and run it.

• STEP 4

Write a code for moving the OZOBOT on a square trajectory, using repetition cycle.

Upload the code on the OZOBOT and run it.

Why is it possible to use a repetition cycle in coding these trajectories?

Is there any difference in coding a rectangular or a square trajectory at this level?

Extensions:

Use functions and variables to define figure’s dimensions
