Learning Math Concepts by Visually Programming Robots

For improving the use of visual programming language many are the systems that have been built for the primary school users. Some applications are about science learning and some deals with Mathematics. This paper presents an educational environment developed by AgentSheets system, devoted to math learning for elementary students and it is a follow up of a computational system in which an autonomous robotic agent, through its sensors and a simple set of behaviours, is able to develop a specific sensorial language. The environment is so organized. There is a pedagogical agent which explores the environment and classifies the objects it finds. The objects are stored in the system memory and the agent makes mathematical operations on this stored information. The agent has all math rules for calculus, formal logic, sets theory, topology and space concepts. These rules are displayed on the worksheets since the agent creates enganging situations and are transferred to the users by demonstration, through and highly dynamic interaction. In fact, the user can interact with the system and learning by
