    For students who aren't familiar with Ozobot Blockly, it is a really good idea to model the process of solving the first problem for the entire class. If possible, project how you solve the problem. Then, switch the window to show how you code. It is a good idea to leave your code on the big screen for students to refer back to.

    For ease of pairing, it will be easier to pass out 1 Ozobot at a time. Turn it on and pair with computer before moving onto the next group to avoid students accidentally pairing the wrong Ozobot.

    When students are coding on Blockly, make sure they are on level 4 or 5 so they can put in the exact angles. Additionally, since Blockly only codes in whole numbers have students round. Their triangles may not be exactly correct, but they should be within a centimeter of being complete if solved and coded correctly.

    3. Direct Instruction (Teacher-Facing Instructions)

    These are the steps the educator will read. Include any front loading, modeling or explicit instruction before students work independently or in groups.

    Instruction

    Pass out the Ozobot Tests your Triangle worksheet with 1 per group (or individual student). Model how to solve for the missing side. Then, model the process of opening Blockly, coding the Ozobot to trace, linking Ozobot to the computer, and running the program. Allow students to copy the code and test their calculations.

    Instruction

    Let students work through the rest of the problems and then code to check their work. The second problem uses the same angles, so students only have to change the lengths. For problems 3 and 4 students will also have to change the angles.

    4. Student Practice (Student-Facing Instructions)

    These are step-by-step instructions delivered directly to the students as they work independently or in groups

    Student Instructions

    Instruction

    For each triangle, start by using the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of the missing side.

    Goal

    Instruction

    Open Ozobot Blockly and pair your Ozobot with your device. Code the Ozobot to trace your triangle, using the length of the missing side that you calculated. If your Ozobot ends up close to where he started you are correct. If he isn't in the right place, you should check your code AND your math to figure out where you went wrong.

    Instruction

    Repeat this process for all 4 examples on the worksheet.
