Maths Shine Program

Our Maths Shine students had the opportunity to work with Mr Dickson again on the last day of Term 2, looking at how coding connects with matrices. 

First, they had to problem-solve the role that each colour played in coding the robot. 

Then they built coloured paths and loops that programmed the little cars to move from one point to another. 

Finally, they realised the interconnectedness of each path, in that each 'start' had eight potential programs that could utilise the colours in other students' programs... a thoroughly thought-provoking and hands-on Mathematical experience!
