FPP - Bee bots in maths

We used bee bots for a maths lesson on quarter turns and half turns. Bee bots were used to explore how many quarter turns are needed to face a certain direction, and other commands that are needed to reach a certain destination.

Using bee bots helped children visualise what quarter turns and half turns are whilst also enhancing their computing abilities. The work on bee bots can then be consolidated using worksheets in which children follow certain instructions (e.g. make a quarter turn to the right and move forward 5) on a treasure map to find different treasures.
