MATHEMATICS WITH ROBOTS FOR UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL
ROBOCHART
RoboCHART is a 4-hour module. Through the use of e.DO robots, the students are asked to use mathematics to solve real-world problems.
In order to make the activity feel more concrete, the educational experience is accompanied by a learning metaphor.
RoboCHART is structured into 3 levels of difficulty: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. RoboCHART evaluates the students through 4 tasks plus a final assessment test. The tasks and final assessment test differ according to the chosen level of difficulty. In all, there are 6 types of tasks and 3 types of assessment tests. Some elements of the tasks can also vary, making them easier or more difficult, so that the level of difficulty can be adjusted further.
