This
task will enable you to use the Modelling strand of ICT while
supporting and enhancing mathematics.
LOGO
can be applied effectively to support a theme or topic in - eg.
mathematics, which involves work on shape and angles, or Geography
through the exploration of a scene or place.
Novice
Task:
Decide
on the focus for the activity and the desired learning outcomes.
Demonstrate
to pupils how to:
-
enter direct commands to create shapes on screen
- use
pre-drawn shapes or shape tools (if available), to create simple
2D shapes/patterns
- save,
retrieve, amend and print work
Prepare
differentiated, focused tasks/activities that involve pupils entering
direct commands to create shapes on screen. For example, using
pre-drawn shapes or shape tools (if available), create simple
2D shapes/patterns to investigate tessellations/symmetry.
Some
other areas to explore could be:
-
properties of shape
- the
concept of angles
- repeating
patterns
- exploration
of number etc.
