- Information
Description
This book offers a deep dive into computer science integration, providing guidelines for designing elementary CS/math curricula through case studies and practical examples.
How-to books related to computer science (CS) and teaching CS in K-12 environments are often either step-by-step guides or reference books, with little or no connection to pedagogy. By contrast, Coding + Math offers the analytical foundation teachers need to inform their practice, specifically in mathematics.
Grounded in research, the book's mini-lessons contrast visual-based coding with text-based programming and provide guidance in the selection and creation of lessons, instructional materials and CS platforms to help educators prepare students for the careers of the future.
The book:
- Includes case studies in each chapter, with a research snapshot that contextualizes the key elements of the case study.
- Offers strategies for "getting out the blocks" and introducing text-based CS when students are ready.
- Examines the rationale and effectiveness of scaffolded approaches to CS - such as block coding, scripted and storyboarding - vs. traditional syntax-based and problem-solving approaches.
- Ties effective teaching strategies directly to the CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards, ISTE's Standards for Computer Science Educators and the ISTE Computational Thinking Competencies.
Coding + Math will strengthen the ties between math and CS to support students' achievement in math, as well as their future CS course selections and pursuits of CS careers.
Audience: K-5 educators
