- Draw letters randomly around the mat and program the Finch to navigate to each letter to spell out a word.
- Use the Finch as the hands of the clock to practice telling time
- Practice angle work by drawing shapes on a precise grid
- Measure how far the Finch goes in a predetermined amount of time and graph the data to calculate its speed
- Bring math into the real world by drawing a number line on the mat and modeling addition and subtraction by moving the Finch.
- Insert a marker into the Finch and program it to draw shapes, letters, or fractals.
-
Use the Finch as a tool to measure various objects and distances.
Special Notes and Considerations:
*NOTE: Not suitable for use with any dry erase marker or permanent marker. Only suitable for use with washable markers. We highly recommend Crayola Paint Brush Pens because they wash off extremely well AND their unique shape fits the Finch marker holder perfectly.
