Did Santa bringing your kids Bigtrak for Christmas?
Good choice! Everyone had great fun with this educational toy back in pre-National Curriculum days when teaching was usually fun, so we know that today\'s kids will have a great time learning basic program skills.
However, the day will come when they\'ll want to learn more, and then they\'ll enjoy our popular Logo/turtle graphics pack ScreenTurtle!
Bigtrak and ScreenTurtle use similar commands, e.g. FORWARD 10, RIGHT 90, REPEAT 4, but while Bigtrak roams around the floor, our \'turtle\' draws patterns on, you guessed it, the screen.
Can you create a sequence that draws a square or a hexagon? Can you colour it in, then give it a name (e.g. HEX) so that ScreenTurtle learns it? Now type HEX and watch ScreenTurtle obey!
From just £14.99 inc. VAT this effective, tried-and-tested software develops maths, shape, space, creativity, thinking and even spelling skills. It can challenge a wide age range, even adults, and includes worksheets which may be useful with Bigtrak.
Click here to read more, to view the worksheets, and to download a demo.
"The children made a circle as soon as you answered my 'how do we do that?' e-mail, and the excitement was exhilerating. Caused everyone to come and look. Such a simple program but so effective. Thanks again." Marg Lester, ICT Teacher, Bonsall Primary
