Title:Bryneven Coding with 2Logo to make a artistic pattern

DESCRIPTION:This coding lesson links in with the current Purple Mash classes; being done
during formal day. Here is work that builds on that understanding. This
particular lesson is streamed from the early code lesson -touched by the
experience of the Intermediate phase learners (grade 4 to 6). In this lesson we
explore with 2Logo; creating an automated art piece – the design aspect lie
within the procedure. The steps and direction taken by the pen: the cursor is
moving with left and right turns, in degrees; the cursor is also crossing the
space with forward movements -each step helps the learner see how to work within
the available space, on the screen. We look at the movement procedure building
up – providing a pattern that fits -with the up, down and colour featuring. This
lesson took place on the 8th of October – with the younger group of coders (8 to
10 yrs). Bryneven Primary School has been using Purple Mash for over 2 years.
This website has facilitated a valuable coding base -from which learners can
build a thorough understanding. What is most fascinating about this lesson? The
way the given code pieces translate – into unexpected patterns. Very often,
forms are foreshadowed, come about in an unexpected way -based on the movement
of the pen across the paper. Here we have the screen – with the movement of the
cursor. Yet, in this movement, combinations brings forth a delightful complex
patterning – with unique features. Mr Bradley teaches for the Gauteng Department
of Education. Mr Bradley teaches at Bryneven Primary School. This is a public
school in Bryanston, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Bryneven Primary has
introduced coding dynamics -using Purple Mash- since 2017.

Title:Bryneven’s Mr Bradley Presents Shapes in 2Logo with Grade 6s

DESCRIPTION:In this Bryneven Purple Mash lesson we explore how different shapes are related
to code. To do this, we build a square with a forward motion and a 90 degree
rotation using 2Logo in 2Simple’s Purple Mash. We identify the code that creates
the different shapes, namely the square, the circle and the octagon, as well as
the correct procedure. From this source figure, we experiment by looking at each
figure with the equivalent code behind its construction. Repositioning the pen:
using the movement with ‘pen up’ and ‘Pen down’ commands.This provides us with
the means to reposition the pen on the screen’s x and y axes. Today’s lesson is
an interesting exploration of translating code into procedures using Purple
Mash. We need to see how this opens up huge potential for mathematics teachers.
The shape forms are part of the curriculum, which includes the study of the
properties of different forms – the size of the forms being indicated in steps.
Mr Bradley is a GDE teacher; working for the department of education at Bryneven
Primary School in Johannesburg South Africa. Bryneven primary school has been
using Purple Mash for over two years. We look forward to future developments
-having more teachers using it in their lessons.

Title:Bryneven Primary’s Mr Bradley Simulated Sunsets with Gr 3

DESCRIPTION:Bryneven Primary presents a coding lesson, using 2Simple’s Purple Mash. This is
a 30 minute lesson -with 9 year olds. In this lesson we simulate the alternating
appearance and disappearance of objects, with a timer control. The focus of the
lesson is to provide and identify with the transformation of day into night. We
explore more in the basic logic: by using a timer control. The timer control and
other objects are dragged into the code section -to provide the appropriate
behaviour. There positioning provides the system logic -which is the main point
of the lesson. After a five second point in time: we brings a transformation
-yellow background. At the 10 second interval -this background property changes
to black, through the work of another timer control. The 10 second interval
brings the change to the background property, it becomes black. This is an
experiment with grade 3 learners. My initial expectation was: that this Activity
would be to difficult for them. However, the activity was completed by so many
learners -esp., using the knowledge in observing this presentation. Almost half
the class managed to get through to the fifth challenge. Mr Bradley is a GDE
teacher; working for the department of education at Bryneven Primary School in
Johannesburg South Africa. Bryneven primary school has been using Purple Mash
for over two years. We look forward to further developments -having more
teachers using it in their lessons.
