Turtle art lesson 3

Week 3

Week 2	Simplifying programming – repeating instructions and blocks
Objectives	Demonstrate simplifying instructions; using repeat instructions/ loops to draw shapes#Visualize space, co-ordinates and shapes through movement and vice versa Visualizing the construction of a shape through a set of repeating instructions Taking inputs and executing instructions; assigning value to a variable, etc Demonstrate the logic of different repeating programming structures.
Hands-on Activity	Activity #1 (Part A) What was the answer to the previous question? The turtle moved 8 times; how did we make the turtle do the action 8 times? (By clicking the start button) Is there a way to give this instruction in a simpler way (encourage the class to think of a process being repeated multiple times) Demonstrate the repeat command We have repeated the command 8 times. What are the other ways in which you would like to have the repeat command work? (When a condition is satisfied, for given input values)
