Evaluation of Learning Goals for the lesson Reflective comment on the lesson
1. Use a grid reference system to describe locations I am quite happy with how this lesson went. The students were all pretty well
I think that most students from the groups definitely achieved this learning behaved considering they were using robots. I did have to remind them a few times

The students were all very good with the Bee-Bots, and used them very well together in their teams. One team in particular were problem solving and coming
appropriately. Therefore, I believe this learning goal was achieved. up with solutions as a team which was awesome to see. I’m really happy with this
part of the lesson, it worked out very well. In the beginning of the lesson I used
Aisha’s questions that we worked on in the previous mapping activity. This was good
to point out some of the places students were going wrong (naming the y axis, before
the x axis). It was also an opportunity for students to display their work and get a
sense of ownership from the lesson.
