TTS Resources - Bee-Bot Ordnance Survey Mat | Mr Hunt from the Front Review

In this video, Simon Hunt shows how using Bee-Bots and a local area map provides Key Stage Two children with a hands-on and memorable learning activity. Here are some key skills and knowledge related to this activity: Computational Thinking Algorithmic Thinking: Children learn to create step-by-step instructions to navigate the Bee-Bot from one place to another. Decomposition: Breaking down the task of moving the Bee-Bot into smaller, manageable parts. Debugging: Identifying and correcting mistakes in their instructions to ensure the Bee-Bot follows the correct path Programming Skills Basic Coding: Understanding programming fundamentals by inputting commands (forward, backwards, turn left, turn right, clockwise, anticlockwise) into the Bee-Bot. Sequencing: Arranging commands in the correct order Problem-Solving Strategic Planning: Developing strategies to navigate the Bee-Bot through the map. Critical Thinking: Analysing different routes and making decisions based on obstacles and goals. Spatial Awareness Mapping Skills: Understanding and interpreting the map of the local area. Directional Language: Using terms like left, right, forward, backwards, clockwise and anticlockwise accurately. Collaboration and Communication Teamwork: Working together in groups to plan Bee-Bot’s movements. Communication: Discussing and sharing ideas to solve navigation challenges. Mathematical Skills Geometry: Understanding shapes, angles, and space as they navigate the Bee-Bot. Measurement: Estimating distances and counting steps to ensure accurate movements. Understanding Technology Technological Literacy: Gaining familiarity with using and controlling robots. Problem-Based Learning: Applying technology to solve real-world problems (e.g., navigating a local area). #robot #robotics #education #programming #coding #beebot
