Grade(s)

4, 5

Overview

In this video segment adapted from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad observes the movement of Hacker’s robotic frog. The frog has been programmed to make a certain number of hops depending on the button that is pushed. The CyberSquad must figure out the relationship between the numbers on the buttons and the number of hops the frog makes.
