Today, the children in Beech class practised their times tables during computing using the BBC micro:bit.
They programmed the micro:bit to generate a random number between 1 and 12 when Button A was pressed and another random number between 1 and 12 when button B was pressed. The micro:bit displayed each number on the screen. They had to work out A x B. For example, if Button A generated 6 and Button B generated 7, the answer would be 6 x 7 = 42. The children programmed it so that when they shook it, the micro:bit would display the correct answer so they could check whether they were correct or not!
Those who were successful were challenged to add beeps when the buttons were pressed and play music when the correct answer was displayed.
