Learning Object - Turtle Geometry

Turtle Geometry
I find that this learning object is good for kids aged around 6-12 to start learn the concept of geometry. Students can control the Turtle‘s walking by setting the steps button like forward, rotation. The available challenges include Mazes, geometric shapes and Rocks to be avoided in getting to the flower goals.

Learning:This is good for kids to use game to understand the trigonometric relationships to determine lengths and angle measures. And learning how to use systematic method to locations and describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry and other representational systems. Also, it can gain insights into other disciplines and other areas of interest such as art and architecture.

Teaching:
This learning object also can allow students to challenge one another. After the challenging they can have a group discussion to find out the possible paths that can set. Also, the game play is easy and the button is user friendly to teach the kids to use themselves.
