For Numeracy this week we have been looking at compass directions. We have worked on reading maps using the 8 main directions - North, South, East, West, North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West and then we moved onto using Beebots and our knowledge of compass directions to get a Beebot through the grid to various locations.
We had to programme the Beebot with our own algorithm, using forwards, backwards, turn right, turn left and N, S, E, W. It was important that we regularly tested our algorithm to check we didn’t need to de-bug (find a problem and fix it).
Have you ever used a compass before?

Hello Billy :). I love your posts so much! You always have so many interesting things to share. Also I have never used a compass before. But I have used Bee bots, They are really cool right. I hope you have a good day. From Honey :)
