drawing a square

We are programming the turtle to draw geometric shapes this week. You will use the basic commands we have covered, FD BK RT LT SETH and PD to get the turtle to draw some basic shapes.

REPEAT Command – you will convert all your step-by-step commands into commands that use REPEAT. See how many shapes you can make, see if you can easily figure out the turning angles for each shape.
EXAMPLE to get you started:
