Two teachers demonstrated how they use robots to teach maths in their classes. Both primary and lower high school. They were able to pull in an impressive amount of maths and problem solving out of some very simple robotic activities. From distance/time relationship to diameter and travel distance. Using gears to teach ratio and exponential in a practical way. Axel width + wheel diameter to do turns.
They reported that solving problems with the robots really increased student engagement. So much cool stuff. I want a class set (only $6000 :-)
