302- Robots, Speed Circles, and Proportions: Empowering Mathematics with Technology

Thursday, April 26, 2012: 3:30 PM-4:30 PM
Terrace Ballroom 1 (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Ricky C. Carter


Mathematics Meets Robot Programming is a sample whole-class, interactive, technology-supported lesson that integrates math tools into a robotics investigation. Students use tables, plotting points, function machines, equations, graphs, and dynamic variables to determine scaling factors that allow them to drive a robot around circles at any speed.
