Students studying trigonometry will apply their knowledge of solving a triangle to answer this question: What is the steepest angle of incline that the RVR can travel upwards? Students will work in pairs using a ramp and measuring tape to draw a diagram and calculate the angle, test driving the RVR in several trials.
Sphero RVR - Right Triangle Paths
After studying interior and exterior angles of polygons, students will program their RVR to trace around the path of a large pentagon. This will involve speed and heading settings in the Sphero EDU blocks.
Makey Makey - Classifying Triangles
Using a dark graphite pencil and card stock, students will be making an interactive poster to show off their knowledge of classifying triangles by angle measure and length of sides.
Makey Makey - Insulators and Conductors
What types of materials are conductive? Join me as I demonstrate a lesson using our Makey Makey board as students explore the concept of insulators and conductors.
