Numeracy skills with Ozobots in Yr 6 Holy Family Granville

Year 6 Coders - OZOBOTS 

Term 4 2020,  Year 6 at Holy Family Primary School, Granville has been learning about coding and programming with robotics called Ozobots. 

Ozobots are part of the Digital Technologies Syllabus for K - 12. 

Ozobots are robots that code through identifying lines, colours, and codes on both digital surfaces, such as iPads, and physical surfaces, such as paper. 

Students have been programming their Ozobots to complete different tasks through an app called OzoBlockly editor. 

Students have been using the Ozobots in Numeracy to explore Area. Students created a 2D shape that had an area of 40cm2.  

Once students had created this area they were asked to use the program OzoBlockly to make this 2D shape 2 times bigger. 

 Students needed to explore ratio and use measuring devices such as rulers and tape measures to make sure they were accurate.
