MathEd Forum: April 29, 2023
Symposium on Coding, Computational Modelling, & Equity in Mathematics Education
Description
This meeting is a Fields Institute and Brock University joint event and will be ONLINE ONLY. Please do not come to the Fields Institute on April 29, as the building will be closed.
Over the past decade, there has been an upsurge of interest in the research on computational thinking. Many countries are in the process of introducing computational thinking into their school curricula, either as a new dedicated subject, a cross-curricular theme, or integrated within an existing subject, such as computing or mathematics. The relationship between computational thinking and mathematical thinking has been of particular interest, and there is variation in how computational thinking is perceived by different stakeholders in the mathematics education discipline, including researchers, teacher practitioners, and teacher educators. In this session, we invite you for a panel discussion led by five national and international scholars on the challenges and opportunities of integrating coding in mathematics classrooms.
