Description

Coding literacy is a key component of being college and career ready, yet incorporating it can feel overwhelming. As classroom math teachers ourselves, we also deal with these struggles and want to show you the strategies we use. 

The mini workshop will show you how to use the coding language Scratch to teach specific math standards. You'll begin by exporing how coding can help your students better understand the math you teach them. Next, you'll learn how to introduce your students to Scratch and integrate it into your math lessons. Then, we'll discuss how to facilitate a coding lesson including strategies and lesson starters that emphasize sense making and critical thinking. Finally, we'll examine how to check for understanding and provide student feedback.
