My story of Guess my Robot

Which sequences did you post?


I posted the sequencie: 5 - 25 - 30 - 120 - 124;

Which sequences did you try to solve? Which did you succeed in solving and which not? Try to explain why you could solve some and not others?


I tryed to solve the sequencie: 9 - 45 - 180 - 540 - 1080 - 1080; I only solved this sequencie because I didn't try to resolve other sequencies. I didn't resolve other sequencies because didn't try.

When solving a sequence, did you manage to train a robot to generate it? If not, why not? If yes, what did training the robot teach you about the sequence? 

No I did not  manege to train the robot, because Ididn't have time to do it.


What interesting responses did you receive to your sequences or comments? Why did you find them interesting?
I did not receive no cmments or interesting respoinses.

Think of something special or surprising that happened to you during the game.
Something special that happened during the game was when I learned to work with Dusty, Bumper and the robot. 

What I liked about Guess my Robot

What are the things you liked most about the game? Why?
Wath I like more about the game was doing sequencies because Ilike descovering that there are a lot of ways of repesenting numbers.

What I didn't like

What do you think could be improved, and how?

I think that  wath could be improved is the way that the robot works because the dasen't allway do what we want.


Was anything about the game unclear or confusing? If yes, what, and how could it be improved?
No.

Did you encounter any technical difficulties? Give examples, and explain you how overcame them.
No, Idid not have any technical difficulties.

The Mathematics of Guess my Robot


Give an example of a sequence you found interesting. Explain what was interesting about it.
17 / -2 / -41 / -128 / is interessting because it has negative numbers.

Give an example of an "easy" sequence.  What makes it easy?
1 / 2 / 3 / is easy because its for babys.

Give an example of a "hard" sequence. What makes it hard?
22 / 44 / 59 / 118 / 133 / is hard because its very difficult.

When playing guess my robot, did you try to solve the "easy" or the "hard" sequences? Why?
A hard one bacause I like think.

Was the mathematics of the game challenging?  Is that good or bad? Try to convince someone who thinks otherwise.
Yes I think the mathematics was challenging, and that is good . But, you have tothink that is bad or ealse you can have serious problems in your mind.

Does programming in ToonTalk change the kind of mathematics you do? In what way?
Yes, because Toon Talk of  "seeing" math is diferent.

What did you learn from interacting with other players?
Nothing , but  it must be fun because outer pepole have diferent touthgs then me.

Did others solve the same sequences as you did, but differently? What did you think when that happened?
I don't no if others solved the same sequencie as me.

Guess my Robot and Learning

List 1-3 things you learnt from this game.
 I leared to think, Think and THIINK.

Do you think that Guess my Robot is a good way to learn about sequences? Why / Why not?
 Yes because I developed my knowlagde.


How could the game be improved, to make it ...
- More interesting
- More exciting
- More challenging
- Offer more opportunities for exploring mathematics
 More challenging.


In what ways is Guess my Robot related to the Mathematics you learn at school?
 I have to learn to pay atention.

General comments

Anything else you would like to tell us (researchers, teachers, fellow players):
 

Yes, I think you should better "cerebro" of the robot.

Invent your own game

Propose a game of your own, that uses ToonTalk and web reports, and can help players learn Mathematics.

The game that I invented is iplicate with the robot.
