Bee Bots and Learning in the Primary Classroom
Can technology help improve student learning? Can primary students problem solve and learn Reading and Math skills using Bee Bots? In conjunction with the curriculum, teachers will share a set of bee bots to introduce problem solving and reinforce Reading and Mathematics concepts. A problem solving curriculum and mat is available to give students access to a great way to learn logical thinking skills while integrating technology. Students will be actively engaged in commanding the Bee Bots to move locations on the lessons mat. For example, a money mat may let students tell their bot to “pick up” twenty eight cents. The student would have to give their bot the command to move forward, left or right to get the right amount of money. There are also plain mats and problem solving scenarios that will give students the opportunity to figure out the best solution. The bee bots can be used throughout the school year to reinforce curriculum and introduce problem solving.
