In RobotMath, the robot and its programs become manipulatives to build and investigate central ideas in early algebra such as variables, inequalities, proportionality, geometry, and coordinate spaces.
FUN & EASY: robotics programming is math-rich and beginner-friendly.
Thanks to the new Tertl environment, programming and controlling robots is easier than ever. Sturdy, pre-assembled robots like the iRobot Create let you get straight to the math. Use RobotMath as enrichment in 6th grade, remediation in 11th grade, or anywhere in between. Supplement your core math curriculum with ready-to-run RobotMath lessons; offer a complete RobotMath course; or select, adapt, share and extend materials to make a technology module or after-school program.
ROBOTMATH: an innovative, hands-on approach to the foundations of algebra.
RobotMath helps kids build a new relationship to mathematics, based on visualization and hands-on creative applications. Its web-based tools and curriculum materials turn robots into a resource for learning math in middle- and high-school.
