Hadamard found, in a study of 100 leading mathematicians [including Einstein], that the majority of them were primarily visual in their approach. Some even went further back to sensations of a kinesthetic kind." Scientific American, Sept., 1984, p. 56. In first grade math the emphasis is on: (1) Developing understanding of addition , subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20. (2) Developing understanding of place value. (3) Developing understanding of linear measurement. (4) Reasoning about attributes of geometric shapes.

The HatchBlox app enables students ages 8+ to program their Hatchling Robotics Kit. Students drag together blocks to build programs that control motors and lights, and they can use sensors to make their robot respond to its environment. The only limit is their imagination! HatchBlox is a complete block-based programming language that is specifically designed for physical computing. HatchBlox contains blocks for all parts of the Hatchling Robotics Kit, as well as control structures, math and logic operators, support for variables and lists, and more. HatchBlox makes it easy for beginners to explore and get started, while also enabling students to create more complex programs as they learn more about computer science. Features: - Control lights, motors, and sensors for the Hatchling Robotics Kit - Code can run live while connected, and continues to run on the robot after disconnection Requirements: This app requires a Hatchling Robotics Kit. The app connects to the kit via Bluetooth BLE, so make sure Bluetooth is enabled!
