Overview:
The goal of this explicit math lesson is to apply proportional math skills to calculate required Move block Duration parameters for different size wheels.
Objectives:
Students will be able to:
1. Calculate the distance a robot will travel in one rotation of the wheel
2. Predict the distance a robot will travel based on the size of its wheel
3. Calculate how many rotations/degrees are required to travel a given distance
4. Demonstrate actual robot travel distance versus calculated values
