Coding the Mathematics Curriculum in Primary: Using Scratch Coding to Deepen Students Mathematical Knowledge
In this webinar participants will learn the basics of coding in Scratch, and how block coding makes it easy for students to problem solve while engaging their critical, creative and computational thinking strategies. We will explore Scratch coding projects that tie into the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum in the Primary grades. This webinar is suitable for beginners with little, to no previous experience with coding. It is a hands on session, where we will be creating coding projects that cover specific expectations in the Primary grades.
Audience: Grades 1-3
