Description:

Students use Etoys to explore the location of a moving object on a grid. The vocabulary and concepts are useful on and off of the computer. The geometric shapes are positioned using coordinates on the X/Y axis. Students will use the location and heading information to move efficiently from one rectangle to another. The pen trail shows the moves so, accuracy counts.
