The story of Benji the Beebot

He started off in the hallway, just home from school

He made his way to
The Kitchen

He then went into the dining room to eat his dinner

After he went to the toilet and then to his playroom

Finally he went to bed

Linking Beebots with Literacy....

Children are introduced to directional language they will begin to learn their right from their left, a key aspect of learning for children

Depending on the map they chose to use they can learn key elements of the map, for example our map introduced us to the different rooms in a house

The Beebot could also be used to learn about different sounds and syllables for example they could direct the beebot to the vovels on a map with the alphabet

Linking Beebots with Mathematics

The Beebots can certainly be linked with mathematics education.

Children could be asked to use addition to move the Beebot forward.
And use subtraction to move the Beebot backwards.

It could also be used to advance children's multiplication skills, if they are asked to move in multiples of tow for example.

This is a stage that involves signs, and pictures to represent thinking without the use of action

This task places emphasis on the visual aspect of learning. Children need to use their problem solving skills when using the BeeBots in this activity.
It also asks children improves children's sense of direction and language efficiency

Symbolically Route

Symbolic stage is a stage that uses formulae. This activity could be used in mathematics. The formula is used to give directions for example F2 indicates to go forward two spaces.

In Conclusion

It is evidently clear from our work with the Beebot that it can be linked with mathematics and literature to advance children's learning outcomes.
It is a fun and interactive lesson where children can learn while also having fun.
I will certainly be bringing this activity into my classroom as it proves very beneficial.
