Draw with 1/6 and 1/3

In this activity, you can tell the turtle to walk forward or turn. You can also make the turtle draw a design. When his pen is down, the turtle leaves a trail every time he moves forward.

Try it out. Press the button that says "pd" to tell the turtle to put his pen down. Tell the turtle to move forward with the "forward 50" or "forward 100" buttons. Tell the turtle to turn with a "1 / 6" or "1 / 3" button. Then tell the turtle to move forward again. What happens?

If you want the turtle to move without drawing, tell him to put his pen up with the "pu" button.

If you want to erase everything and start over, clear the graphics with the "cg" button.
