Draw a picture graph and a bar
graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four
categories. Solve simple put-together, take-apart, and compare problems 10
using information presented in a bar graph.

5. Procedures
1st Activity: Bee-Bot on the Route
1) Choose a route.
2) Draw a route on the Engineer log.
3) Program Bee-Bot to make it arrive at the final destination.
- The three basic sequences of commands: Always start your programming with “Clear” and end it with “Go”.
- You cannot use your hand to change the direction of your Beebot’s movement.
- Which direction does your Beebot have to go?
- How many commands do you need to give your Beebot
4) Record the commands on the Engineer log.
- If your Bee-Bot does not move along the route, find errors in your programming and fix them.
- Try again to make your Beebot successfully arrive at the final destination.
5) Change routes after completing one route.
2nd Activity: Bee-Bot on the Grid
1) Draw a line on the grid below to show the route the Bee-Bot will travel.
2) Program the Beebot to make it arrive at the final destination (hive) by following the route that children drew.
3) Record the commands that children need to program the Bee-Bot to move along the route.
- If you find errors, mark where you need to correct them.
- If you succeed in programming your Beebot, you can find other routes to get to the hive on the grid.
6. Review
- What
is programming?
- What would happen if we miss the Clear command first?
- What helped you to solve the problem?
