AgroBot: Fractions and Polar Coordinates with Educational Robotics offers a new perspective: mathematics ceases to be a set of rules and becomes a living practice. Through challenges involving a mobile robot, students learn by making decisions: partitioning, measuring, orienting, adjusting, and verifying. Fractions appear as relationships that organize resources; polar coordinates, as a language of movement (radius and angle) for navigating space. Programming makes thinking visible: it forces students to sequence, debug, and justify. Thus, the classroom becomes a collaborative laboratory where mistakes are sources of information and understanding is demonstrated through actions. This book offers a ready-to-implement instructional sequence, with a STEAM+IH approach and classroom study, to strengthen mathematical and computational thinking in elementary school. It includes resources and monitoring criteria for inclusion and autonomy. Thinking, doing, and reasoning are meaningfully integrated into each activity.
