Coding Purposeful Practice Activities in Elementary Mathematics
This session introduces Scratch projects that will encourage students to practice math operations such as addition/subtraction, and multiplication/division. Rather than simply playing the games, students can become active coders by modifying and tweaking the code in the programs. They will be able to build upon the math concepts demonstrated in the original game and can …

Developing Computational Thinking Through Coding
In this session participants will explore the continuum of coding from doing so without technology to using coding tutorials like TouchDevelop, to using code to create content. Participants will learn about how coding supports numeracy and enables students to take risks, fail safely, debug and think critically. Participants will leave with ideas of how to integrate coding to any grade level classroom as well as …
