Galleries
Play with Turtle Art to draw colorful art patterns using a turtle that accepts instructions for movement.
With visual programming blocks, you can snap together programs by compiling (combining) them in ways to create anything you can imagine.
(Additional galleries can be found at http://turtleartsite.appspot.com and http://turtleart.org)
more maths
A clock activity
Calculating the hypotenuse and approximating the angle of a right triangle
Stepping through the program is a nice way to visualize the process of approximation
The final result of the approximation.
And on-the-fly function definitions
Currency (using File:US-currency.tar.gz)
Currency including coins (using File:Oz-currency.tar.gz)
Tony Forster describes his "adventures" with on-the-fly definitions to create an analog clock in his blog.
Try any of the time or math library functions, e.g.,
localtime().tm_min
sin(x) + sin(pi/2)
presentations
games
Turtle Art can be used to write games, such as a simple falling block game:
sensors
Turtle Art supports sensor input:
Using a Hall-effect sensor, you can build a bike odometer in Turtle Art
More ideas for sensors [[1]] [[2]]
student work
Students from Caacupé have been sending me examples of their work:
