Draw More + Add More

After your children have traced and drawn more on their robot page (in the Pond Coloring Club) you can use their work in a math or spelling warm up or mini lesson! 

While they're tracing and drawing, talk about:
  • the straight and curved lines
  • what shapes they can see on the robot already
  • what ideas they have for how their robot looks when completed or what it does

Display your collection of robots along with any writing they do!

Robot Makes Words

  • suggest that this robot is making words
  • give your students a selection or letters to use (use letter tiles or write them on the board) 
  • challenge your students to write (around their robot or on a whiteboard) words that robot can make with the letters
  • have this on display in your main teaching area after your activity or warm up and when you need a lesson transition or to fill a few minutes, students can find more words

Robot Rules

  • create a puppet by cutting a window opening on teh robot
  • attach to a craft stick
  • write a rule for numbers - e.g. +10, +1, double, x2, +12
  • ask students to pass a number tile or dice through the robot
  • 'the robot' must calculate the answer (the student) and record it (optional)
  • use this as an engaging math warm up and let students make a math puppet too

I hope your students love the robot page!
