Use
of application.
Assessment opportunities. |
Plan
pupil groups and group size.
Use questions to interrogate pupils on learning outcomes.
Teach pupils how to:
- enter
direct commands to create shapes and patterns on screen
using turtle or pre-drawn shapes (if available)
- save,
retrieve and edit work
Provide
opportunities through focused, differentiated tasks for pupils
to use LOGO to explore areas such as:
- properties
of shape
- concept
of angles
- repeating
patterns
- estimation
- tessellation
- symmetry
- exploration
of number
- problem
solving
- investigations
- saving,
retrieving and editing work

| Assessment
Issues |
Assessment
of pupils' achievements.
Date their experiences and competencies. |
Can
pupils:
- use
LOGO to enter direct commands to create shapes on screen?
- use
a sequence of commands to create simple 2D shapes/patterns
to investigate tessellation, symmetry, properties of shape,
concept of angles and exploration of number?
- save,
retrieve and edit work?
|
| Recording
Assessment |
Recording
pupils' experiences and knowledge of skills to inform future
planning. |
Pupils
can:
- use
LOGO to enter direct commands to create shapes on screen
- use
a sequence of commands to create simple 2D shapes/patterns
to investigate tessellation, symmetry, properties of shape,

| Evaluation |
Judgement
of timing and use of application:
Could the task have been carried out in a more conventional
or effective way?
Was continuity and progression achieved?
Will pupils need further consolidation, reinforcement or extension
work?
Did pupils acquire expected skills in both the subject areas
supported and ICT? |
Did
the use of the computer support the topic?
Did the software enhance the chosen curriculum areas?
Were resources adequately prepared?
Did the activity enable pupils to keep on task?
Was there sufficient opportunity for differentiation?
Were pupils able to use a sequence of commands to create simple
2D shapes/patterns and save, retrieve and edit their work
effectively?
Are pupils acquiring expected and necessary Key Skills?
Was there continuity and progression?
How suitable were the pupil groupings?
Is there need for reinforcement/consolidation or extension?
Were teaching and learning objectives met?
What, if anything, would you change when using LOGO again?
