Summary

    Terrapin's Learning Station includes:

         • 1 Bee-Bot OR 1 Blue-Bot
         • 1 Card Mat

    Learning stations offer the opportunity to divide the class into small groups for differentiated instruction and make it easy to provide supplemental learning. Learning stations are a great way to implement Bee-Bot Lessons, Problem-Solving with Bees and Blues, and Exploring Math with Blue-Bot.

    Use Alphabet Cards to quickly turn the Card Mat into an Alphabet Mat or CVC Word Cards to make it a CVC Words Mat. Students can use Command Cards to plan and record their programs.


    Bee-Bot / Blue-Bot Teaching Tools & Resources

    CURRICULUM

    • Bee-Bot Lessons – Introduce young children to foundational coding skills—such as sequencing, directionality, and problem-solving—through the playful, accessible interface of Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot. With over 200 standards-aligned activities across the K–2 curriculum and differentiated instruction tips, teachers can easily adapt lessons for all learners. Integrate technology into math, science, literacy, social studies, the arts, and world languages while students build navigation, counting, geometry, patterning, and storytelling skills—making learning engaging and hands-on throughout the year.
    • Problem-Solving with Bees and Blues – Engage students in hands-on, challenge-based activities that use Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot's 90° turns to build skills in routing, graphing, prediction, logic, sequencing, and collaboration. Students progress from creating simple paths to tackling complex routes tied to Cartesian coordinates, testing solutions with their robots for immediate feedback. The curriculum includes a teacher guide with clear objectives, 150 easy-to-print student challenges of varying difficulty, and a Student Record Form for tracking progress—empowering elementary learners to explore robotics, strengthen coding confidence, and turn problem-solving into an adventure.
    • Exploring Math with Blue-Bot – Bring math to life through fun, standards-based activities that build essential K–3 skills. Ten scaffolded chapters lead students from counting and place value to measurement, graphing, geometry, and fractions—all through hands-on coding. The Teacher Guide provides strategies for differentiating instruction, and a Student Record Form helps track progress. The lessons were designed with Blue-Bot in mind, leveraging its unique 45° turn and repeat loop capabilities, but most lessons are also compatible with Bee-Bot, allowing students familiar with it to explore these expanded features online.
    • Storytime STEM+C Adventures – Combine literacy with coding for Pre-K–2 students. Choose from five different adventures that focus on science, engineering, or math, each with children’s books and a full set of materials for 24 students. Designed for use with Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot, these engaging activities are an effective way to build a solid foundation in language arts and computational thinking.

    Putting Skills to Practice

    • Online Emulators – These fun apps let you program a virtual robot on any device that supports a browser. Choose any of Terrapin's Learning Mats as a surface to explore or set your own challenges with a blank surface. A great way to introduce Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot’s moves to a class before moving on to the floor robots individually.
