Computational Thinking in Mathematics Education

We are researching the use of computational thinking in mathematics education, from pre-school to undergraduate mathematics, and in mathematics teacher education.

Funding

The project is funded by a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant and by outreach funding by The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences.
