In this lesson, students are tasked with completing a full body surgery that will be navigated by the Ozobot 600. Students work together to solve order of operations problems and acquire color codes to code the highly intelligent robot through the surgery. After completing Operation Ozobot, students reflect on their experience via Flipgrid by explaining the procedure for solving one of the order of operations problems as well as potential complications or errors that could have been made by a less experienced doctor. An Ozobot is a small robot that can be coded two ways: online with OzoBlockly and screen-free with color codes. My colleague, Sharon Eckert created an awesome activity to review order of operations for 6th grade math students. Students answer math questions in order to reveal color codes for the Ozobot to successfully navigate the track, which in this case is a human body in need of surgery.
When Ms. Baker approached me to brainstorm ideas of how to make this an activity that our virtual students could participate in as well, I immediately called on Kayla Hicks after seeing activities she'd created for her elementary students. In this year's #DitchSummit, one of the things that stood out from the session with Esther Park is assigning students a responsibility within group work by using color coding. This activity presented the perfect opportunity since we normally would split the work amongst a group for the physical Ozobot activity. So, I cannot take all of the credit for this lesson. It is a product of teamwork from a lot of amazing and generous educators! You can grab a copy here!
