Micro:bit, as the most popular microcontroller board in China today, has captured the hearts of many young people and teachers.
Its high-tech features have been fully explored by enthusiasts, and it truly lives up to the phrase “value for money”!
First, there is the online programming version provided by the official website, which greatly facilitates those who are new to programming;
Then, the offline programming version launched by Miao’s family solves the problem of programming due to network issues for enthusiasts (teachers)! Oh, I (Miao) am simply a genius, right?
For the offline version, click 【Micro:bit】Miao Technology now offers the makecode offline version.
In addition, I (Miao) have also created an advanced expansion version for enthusiasts—Robot:bit, which greatly expands the capabilities of Micro:bit!
Method:
-
Enter makecode in the browser to open the webpage;
-
Click “Add Package”;
-
Copy the following link and hit enter to add;

There are many dedicated teachers like Miao, bringing a wealth of tutorials and gameplay to enthusiasts!
Today’s tutorial from 【I Love Mushroom xmg】 includes a digital tutorial that utilizes Teacher Shao’s font library, and the expansion pack (as follows); copy—paste the link—to add the package to the software; let’s start today’s lesson with Xiao!
Sum of Elements in a Sequence
In language exams, it’s common to calculate the sum of multiple numbers in a sequence; this is a regular exam question (parents take note)!
Programming Logic:Set a sum variable and accumulate the sum of each element in the sequence!!

Class Summary
To find the sum of a sequence (Z), you should operate like this on the small bit;
First, set a base number (X)
Check the target sequence (Z)
If (Z) > (X), decrement by B (-1)
If (Z) < (X), increment by A (+1)
Finally, A + B gives you the sum of the sequence (Z).
For example, if you want to find the sum of natural numbers up to (13), based on the above program, when pressing A shows (11), you should continue pressing A until the number 13 appears, at which point you can press A + B to get the sum (13) of the sequence. Or wait until the number (14) appears, and then press button B (-1), you will get the same answer!
Some friends might say this is the same thing, right?
It’s over-complicating things; it’s too troublesome;
Actually, the answers are indeed the same;
However, while nurturing young people;
we should cultivate their problem-solving methods;
ignite their curiosity about new things;
train their mathematical thinking patterns;
so they can explore and discover more on their own;
and not just tell them the answers;
For them, that is the most important!
