Lego Spike Prime

Building our car 

WALT: 

• Identify and fix errors in a programme 
• Explore two-dimensional shapes and angles.
• Recount an experience using facts and descriptive details. 

SUCCESS CRITERIA:  I can... 

• Decompose problems into smaller parts. 
• Solve problems by developing a sequence 
• Identify errors and fix them 
• Explain how our assignment went to our audience.

My Reflection: 

This week one of the technology tasks we had to complete was build a car using the lego prime kit and programme it to move through a course without hitting any of the objects.  We had a couple of problems - our battery pack was flat, our programme on our chromebooks needed to be updated and both took alot of time to do which ate up our hour we were given to complete this task. Building the car was easy.  The instructions were clear to follow.  What was difficult though was when we had to programme our car to move in different directions.  We had to decide if we were using cmś, degrees or rotations...it was a lot of trial and error.  It took us AGES to figure out how to get the wheels to turn. We eventually succeeded though, which was cool.  BUT, we weren´t able to complete the course.  We ran out of time.

Subtraction Problems With Decimals

 

WALT: Solve subtraction problems with tenths by changing the second number into a whole number.

Success Criteria: I will

• Round the second number to a tidy whole number.
• Any changes I make to one addend I have to make to the other because the distance between the two numbers must remain the same.

HERE IS EVIDENCE OF MY WORK THAT I HAVE DONE:

HERE IS A VIDEO OF ME SHOWING HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY:

My Reflection:

A question I wanted to know was why do you have to make sure that it balances?  When you subtract or add from one addend you have to do the same to the other.  Addition problems are different.  I didn't realise until I was shown that the distance or difference between the two numbers have to stay the same.

I also discovered that it was easier to subtract when the second number was a whole amount.

This strategy is easy once you practice it a few times.  I wonder if it will still be easier when you are subtracting hundredths and thousandths? Lucky I don't have to worry about that until next year.
