Objective: to build a creation, that when viewed from above will show exactly 100 LEGO Dots.
Village of Barboursville Elementary
1st and 2nd grade TAG
We have new WeDo
and red sets
10 by 10 is 100
The same number of dots on top can weigh different amounts.
5 by 20 is 100.
Plates can cover the cracks on the bottom to have the project stay together.
What we discover is more important than what we win.
100 dots
Adding more to the top adds no more dots.
Adding more sticking out to add more needed dots adds only the ones that are not connected.
Example: When needing one more dot, he stuck a 2 stud beam with one stud connected and one over the edge.
Central City Elementary 1st and 2nd grade TAG
Making an outline and counting the dots in boxes makes it much easier to check the count.

counting the birds eye view easier.
