The robot follows the command list in order, one step at a time. Trace its path on the grid, then circle the picture below that shows where it ends up.

Practice and check

Worked example

Move one square per arrow, starting at the robot. These grids have no internal walls. Check every intermediate position.

(1,1) → (1,2) → (1,3) → (1,4) → (2,4) → (3,4) → (4,4)

  1. Row, Column: (1,1) → (1,2) → (1,3) → (1,4) → (2,4) → (3,4) → (4,4)

Tips for Parents

▸ Why It Matters Move one square per arrow, starting at the robot. These grids have no internal walls. Check every intermediate position. Worked example: (1,1) → (1,2) → (1,3) → (1,4) → (2,4) → (3,4) → (4,4) ▸ Getting Started Choose one problem and describe what is printed before answering. Keep a finger or small paper marker at the place being checked. Read any written condition aloud. Record one observation at a time so you can return to the exact step that needs attention. Row, Column: (1,1) → (1,2) → (1,3) → (1,4) → (2,4) → (3,4) → (4,4); B ▸ If They Get Stuck If the answer differs, return to the first step where the explanations disagree. Hide the other problems while checking this one. Ask which printed clue supports the choice, and allow a change of answer after checking. An error here is a reason to revisit that step, not a measurement of intelligence. ▸ Praise Points Keep feedback short and tied to an action: “You checked each step.” Let the child point out a correction they made, then try another problem without rushing. Stop when attention drops and return later if useful. Finishing every problem in one sitting is not required.
