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.

4. 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

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

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

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

11. 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?

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

13. 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.

15. Students did it all on their own!

16. 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

17. 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

18. Social Studies Lesson Ideas
Navigating a Map
