WONDER WORKSHOP

Join us for HOUR OF CODE!

This December 9 at 1:00 pm ET, join us for a magical hour of coding and math with our very own Bryan Miller will guide students through an exciting, story-based Math Activity that is part of Class Connect. Using Blockly and our virtual robot, Dash's Neighborhood, kids will solve the standards-aligned math puzzle and use the solution to provide Dash with the code he needs to move through the challenge.

Bryan L. Miller is the Senior Director of Global Strategic Outreach at Wonder Workshop. He is an international keynote presenter and consultant in the areas of coding, robotics, and STEAM education. He is also a former kindergarten teacher, K-5 computer teacher and Director of Educational Technology at one of the largest independent schools in the US.

In the lesson, students will be working on shape patterns. They will be analyzing a given pattern and identifying a future shape in the pattern. Their understanding of the relationships within a pattern will allow them to visualize the shape that Dash will have to “skate” out in the competition. At the end of the lesson, students will have to show their understanding of patterns by drawing the shape that should come next immediately or later in a given pattern.

This Math lesson was developed in partnership with AVID- Find additional resources at AVID STEM Connections. As a Class Connects subscriber, you can take advantage of a complimentary, year-long subscription to AVID STEM Connections™ for the 2021-2022 school year.
