Coding in Kindergarten and its Impact on Mathematical and Literacy Development
The Coding in Kindergarten project highlights the importance of developmentally appropriate coding opportunities for our youngest learners in order to foster their spatial reasoning, estimation, numeracy, oral literacy and problem-solving skills.
-
Exploring Spatial Reasoning Through Coding
Area(s) of Focus: mathLevel(s): Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5, Grade 6Resource(s) Available:Teachers/students will learn how to code as a tool for learning. Teachers will engage in professional learning opportunities on how to use the various coding apps and tools and collaborate with a lead teacher to support implementation in class.

Enhancing Student Mathematical Understanding and Problem-Solving Capabilities Through the Use of Algorithms and Coding Software
Area(s) of Focus: math, technologyDivision(s): Intermediate, JuniorLevel(s): Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8Resource(s) Available:This project was aimed at introducing computer programming to middle school students. It contains a series of lessons, with various entry points from teaching students binary, algorithms, languages, coding and how to use these tools to create.
-
Motivating Diverse Learners Through Coding
This project was based on teacher inquiry into coding, how it works and how to implement it with the students in our classroom. As teachers, we were interested in increasing student engagement through collaboration, inquiry, creativity, communication

Teaching Mathematical Concepts using LEGO Robotics
Area(s) of Focus: technologyDivision(s): Intermediate, JuniorLevel(s): Grade 4, Grade 5, Grade 6, Grade 7Resource(s) Available:Computational literacy skills allow students to analyze a problem and come up with a variety of solutions to solve an open-ended problem. Our goal was to design a series of lessons, both with and without robotics, to address this fundamental skill.
