Differentiation
Learners needing support:
- Should build the finished course from the Presentation: Bee-Bot maze maker.
- Could complete the maze in smaller sections, deleting their commands before attempting the next section.
Learners working at a stretch:
- Should create a course that has multiple possible solutions.
- Could create a ‘trap’ or obstacle in their mazes that the Bee-Bot must avoid.
- Could write or talk about how they could simplify their route using fewer turns or commands.
