CT+Math Grades 4-8

WHAT

  • CT and Math Grades 4-8: understanding classroom practices.
  • Understanding Classroom (teaching and learning) practices that support introductory CT and Math for Grades 4-8 learners

WHO

WHY

  • The study seeks to understand teaching and learning practices for integrating Computational thinking (CT) activities, based on Digital Tangibles, Robotics, and Block coding programs, with mathematics for Grades 4-8 children in and out of school contexts.

WHEN

  • Spring 2016- Spring 2018

OUTCOMES

  • The design of computational thinking and mathematics activities based on existing tools, which were implemented and researched in classrooms.
  • The activities were implemented with eight K-8 class teachers in five schools, as well as in outreach contexts.
