Overview:

With the inclusion of coding in the new Ontario Elementary Mathematics Curriculum 2020, there is a need for in-service teachers to learn to code and to teach mathematics through coding. This specialized eight-session (8) course will help you prepare and grow within the new math curriculum. This course provides those with limited or no coding experience the knowledge and the confidence to teach mathematics through coding.

Feeling nervous about teaching coding? Let us show you that:

  • Coding is actually pretty easy;
  • Math and coding have always been complimentary;
  • You do not need to be a coding expert in order to teach coding;
  • Coding is collaborative;
  • Coding can be fun and rewarding.
