Edison Robot Challenges
by Cori Long
In this hands-on lesson students review the Edison robot and coding in Edscratch. They will then work together to solve math problems and then code the Edison robot to match their solution to the math challenge. This lesson has students calculate the size of a polygon using Scale Factor. Once they have the new measurements of the polygon, they will code Edison to travel the distance and shape of the new polygon. Note: This lesson can be modified to create math challenges to go along with your standards.
This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 4. Links to lessons and resources are included.
