Get into Coding Shape in Math Class

February 13, 2017 to November 24, 2024

  • Category: Online, Workshop
  • Region: Central Ontario, Eastern Ontario, GTA, Northern Ontario, Southern Ontario
  • Topic: Mathematics, Technological Education
  • Grades: Intermediate (grades 7-10), Junior (grades 4-6)

Enhance Junior and Intermediate students’ understanding of geometry concepts through coding in Scratch (scratch.mit.edu). In this hands-on session, participants will learn how to code 2D shapes and other images. Debugging programs and unplugged activities will also be explored. Geometry and spatial reasoning curriculum expectations from grades 4 to 8 will be addressed. Prior coding experience is not needed, but there will be a variety of challenges to try if participants have previous experience with Scratch.
