The 'Art of the Lynx' - Intro
The Art of the Lynx - Intro
Use these cards to explore some simple geometric and coding ideas! You will learn about:
The Total Turtle Trip Theorem
Polygons
Subprocedures & superprocedures
Random
Variables
Conditionals
Grades: 3 - adult (ideal for grades 3 - 8 or as intro for anyone!)
Time: Maybe 5 60 minute sessions.
Note: Grades 1 & 2 can start these but may need greater support and may not get through all of these. That's fine! The time suggestion is really rough — because you could spend much time experimenting! And, we recommend that!
