Learning activity details
In this module students will examine how to use the Kodu programming environment to create simulations and games to explore mathematical problems and examine relationships among data. The Kodu environment provides an accessible and age-appropriate user interface to allow students to create and interact with objects within a three-dimensional world to study algebraic and geometric concepts. In addition, students will learn some of the core concepts in programming and game design, such as conditional execution of statements and object-oriented programming. The objectives in this curriculum module are geared towards 4th and 5th grade math courses and are correlated to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Principles and Standards for School Mathematics.
