Abstract

An increasing number of tools have been created to assist students in learning mathematics. Robots have been regarded as an especially powerful tool to help students master mathematics since students can simultaneously learn mathematics, programming, robotic control, and computational thinking. Although a number of educational robots and curricula have been developed, some of them do not comply with math standards, so they are primarily suitable for after-school programs, camps, or workshops. Students might not be able to focus on learning mathematics now that writing a program might be difficult for them due to debugging. In this paper, mathematics curricula that meet math standards are developed with a block-based programming platform, Roboblocky. Linkbots are utilized as robots in the curricula to teach and learn mathematics in school settings. Students learn mathematics by observing the motions of robots in simulations or on real mats. Most students improved greatly in mathematics after using the curricula. It is expected that the curricula based on Roboblocky will continue to be improved to enable more middle and high school students to be successful in learning mathematics.
在数学课上用机器人学习代数
人们发明了越来越多的工具来帮助学生学习数学。机器人被认为是帮助学生掌握数学的一个特别强大的工具,因为学生可以同时学习数学、编程、机器人控制和计算思维。虽然已经开发了许多教育机器人和课程,但其中一些并不符合数学标准,因此它们主要适用于课外活动、营地或讲习班。学生们可能无法集中精力学习数学,因为编写程序可能会因为调试而变得困难。本文采用基于块的编程平台Roboblocky开发了符合数学标准的数学课程。Linkbots在课程中被用作机器人,在学校环境中教授和学习数学。学生通过观察机器人在模拟或真实垫子上的运动来学习数学。大多数学生在学习了这门课程后,数学成绩有了很大的提高。预计以Roboblocky为基础的课程将不断改进,使更多的初高中学生能够成功地学习数学。
