Robots & Devices Devices Dash & Dot iPad 3, 4, iPad Air, Mini, Pro iPhones, iPods Nexus & Galaxy Tablets*** Galaxy & LG Phones*** Kindle Fire Tablets Dash & Dot *** Check Device Compatibility BEFORE buying bit.ly/dashdotcurriculum Does not work with iPad 2 Not all versions of compatible models work, iPhone is 4s and above, Galaxy phones work with 4 and above The Kindle is a Great low cost tablet - Go app does not work Beware the Compatibility List shows you need Bluetooth 4.0 and may work on other Android devices but be careful.

Apps The apps are free for Apple, Google Play, and Kindle Xylo - app for the xylophone accessory. Program Dash to play music. Blockly - Similar to Code.org type programming. Drag and drop program blocks. Go - Basic app, use to personalize your robots, learn the controls. ** Path - Simplest app, reading not required. Draw, drag & drop, to program. Wonder - Visual programming in free form pattern. Includes challenges & Free play. ** Go app does not work on iPad Pro or Kindle Fire 7 GO - personalize - change names (important) colors Go is not available for the iPad Pro or Kindle Fire 7 Wonder is different than the programming they might have done before - Great Tutorial with challenges to complete. Tinker is also another way to program Dash and Dot

What can the Robots Do? Moves Sounds Pre-programmed sounds Forward/Backward Set speed or distance Turns Set the angle Visual Cues for angles Sounds Pre-programmed sounds Record sounds Speak Dash & Dot have lots to say Record your own voice bit.ly/dashdotcurriculum

Math Lesson Ideas Number Lines Students use Dash to navigate adding and subtracting Measurement: Mazes and Area & Perimeter Students measure distances & program Dash to travel Geometry Students program Dash to make shapes Games for Practice Number facts and practice with operations

Are you ready to apply our math knowledge of perimeter and area?

Let’s Program Dash Mrs. Ringwood said that Dash can be programmed to do math problems!!! Want to try?

TODAY’S GOAL: Apply our understanding of perimeter and area to program Dash to test our dimensions that we generate.

Perimeter of 200 cm What if I said that Dash can travel to make a rectangle? The rectangle will have a perimeter of 200 cm. What could the dimensions be for the rectangle he will travel?

Perimeter of 200 cm If a rectangle has a perimeter of 200 cm, possible dimensions could be the following: _____ cm x _____ cm

Can you determine this? It’s a square If I can solve this.... I can solve this.... It’s a square There area is 64 square centimeters What are the dimensions of the square? Be thinking: “__ x __ = 64” The dimensions of the square are ___ cm x ___ cm. It’s a square There area is 6,400 square centimeters What are the dimensions of the square? Be thinking: “__ x __ = 6,400” The dimensions of the square are ___ cm x ___ cm.

Students did it all on their own!

Reading Lesson Ideas Retelling a story Make costume for Dash/Dot retell the story Explore the setting of a story Create a “map” & Dash travels through it Explore the mood/tone of a story Using Dash lights/sound effects to explain Create a new ending for a story Have Dash & Dot act it out

Science Lesson Ideas Speed and Distance Using cues have Dash travel at a specific speed for a set time Animal Adaptations Can students build a “body part” for Dash that will give him new abilities Motion and Forces Program Dash to travel at different speeds to knock down a tower

Social Studies Lesson Ideas Navigating a Map Use an old pull down map as a mat, program Dash to travel the continents or find countries/features Timelines Create a timeline map, program Dash to travel to each point and tell what happened

Music Lesson Ideas Program Dash to Line Dance Xylophone attachment Program Dash to play a song Use sounds effects to have Dash or Dot play a song

Trick or Treating with Dash

Mat Ideas Tape on the floor (use tiles as guide) Vinyl tablecloth Banners (ie: Vistaprint) Twister Board

The possibilities are limitless!
