Take the purple brick challenge LEGO® Education MoreToMath 1-2

Children learn in different ways, and sometimes it is great to have an extra challenge if you finish a bit before your classmates. The purple brick in each student worksheet marks such a challenging task. Apart from this self-directed differentiation option, the teacher notes provides ideas for more differentiation as well as repetition.

“Can you build a snake that is 42 studs long with a red brick in the middle?”

MoreToMath integrates ways to assess what counts Assessment supports learning. The forms of assessment integrated into MoreToMath are formative, and ultimately guided by the single aspiration – to help measure what counts, rather than what is easy to count.

3 Build two diﬀerent snakes that are 14 studs long. You need to use 6 bricks. Show the bricks you used.

“W0W! So that’s how the

real world works with Machines and Mechanisms” Machines and Mechanisms from LEGO® Education shows students how the world works. Machines aﬀect our lives every day, and when students understand how they are built, they can apply that knowledge to improve or even create new machines. Get students in gear using Machines and Mechanisms to introduce students to gears, levers, pulleys, wheels and axles and other simple machines. Students also gain an understanding of energy, force, motion, structures and other physical science principles. Supporting Curriculum Packs help students connect the models they build to real-life science principles. The portfolio oﬀers a continuum of products that enable students from Kindergarten through Middle School to explore and investigate real-world actions and reactions; to build more complex mechanisms and to design their own engineering solutions to problem scenarios involving LEGO® characters. With Machines and Mechanisms, students work as scientists and engineers to seek answers and design creative solutions.

BuildToExpress

by Oliver,9

Children have all sorts of theories about how the world works. What they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have is the ability and tools to help them express these thoughts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or the opportunity to be able to reďŹ&#x201A;ect about the world around them, their thoughts or their feelings. In a inclusive, non-judgmental and highly-motivated environment, BuildToExpress enables all your students to communicate as equals.

BuildToExpress uses selected LEGOÂŽ elements in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;build and shareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; context. As an example, a class may be discussing environmental protection, and students will build individual representations of what they believe are the most important considerations. They may use the concept to discuss a novel, to prepare for a design challenge or to debate democracy.

Beam Balance

How much does it weigh? Your challenge is to use the balance to work out the weight of assembly A.

Put assembly A one arm and balance it with preassembled weights on the other arm. Use these positions to calculate the weight of assembly A. Use the calibrated weighing machine to check your accuracy. Build your own set of weights from LEGO® parts and test their accuracy.

Calculated weight of load

Measured weight of load

Percentage of accuracy

The simplest weighing machine is a beam balance. The original form of a balance consisted of a beam with a fulcrum at its center. A change of weigh on either side of the balance will change the beams positioning and effect the balance achieved. You will build a model Beam Balance and investigate how its function is influenced by changes in weight and position.

Hint: Find out how accurate your calculation was by finding the difference between the actual and calculated weight. Then divide the difference with the actual weight and multiply it by 100.

The curriculum features three main sections with five design projects per section for a total of 15 projects: • Make it Move: Students are challenged to design, build and program robots that move using motors with rotation sensors. In five projects, students apply mathematics and science knowledge to create robots that measure distance, measure speed, move without using wheels, maximize power to move up an incline, and move and turn to create regular polygons. Students will also apply their knowledge of simple and complex machines and use ratios to describe proportional relationships. • Make it Smarter: Students are challenged to add sensors to their robots to control behavior and to measure, graph and analyze sensor data. In five projects, students develop robots that use sensors that measure ambient and reflected light, distinguish specific colors, measure distance from an object, recognize a touch sensor state (pressed or not pressed, or pressed and released), and measure angular displacement or rate of change. • Make a System: Students are challenged to design, build, and program robotics systems built from subsystems. In five projects, students develop systems that move a ball, pick and place objects, simulate manufacturing, sort colors, and communicate their location. Students test their system, gather data, and use that evidence to engineer system optimizations and improvements. The structure of the activities in the Design Engineering Projects curriculum mimics the engineering design process used by scientists and engineers in many industries. Each project starts with a design brief explaining the challenge, uses videos of robots in action to make real-world connections, and culminates in a final project that can be shared and presented. Throughout the process students gain and use knowledge of science, technology and mathematics as they engineer a solution. This structure is designed to help students develop the 21st-century creative thinking, problem solving, teamwork, and communication skills required for success in school and beyond. The curriculum is digitally-delivered and installs directly into the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 programming software lobby. The in-built content editor enables teachers to customize the curriculum and create their own lessons. It enables students to capture their work directly inside the content creating their own digital workbook, making classroom management and assessment easier. The Design Engineering Projects curriculum was written to match national curriculum.

TUFTS UNIVERSITY

Outreach and development partner for more than 15 years Tufts’ Center for Engineering Educational Outreach, CEEO, in Boston, USA, has worked with LEGO® Education for many years. The center was a major partner in development of the ﬁrst LEGO® MINDSTORMS® resources for schools in the 1990s; helping to create the innovative software interface for the RCX brick. Today CEEO still supports development of LEGO Education resources across the portfolio, researching new and even more eﬀective ways to bring engineering and design processes to teachers and students of all ages. Tufts outreach programs are founded on the principle of providing students with open-ended challenges to engage their problem-solving skills and to learn Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. With LEGO Engineering Conferences, which are also supported by CEEO, we are able to bring together teachers to learn from each other and spread the passion for teaching engineering in the classroom.
