Scratch Program benefits

Makes learning math fun, even for students that would not traditionally think so

Creative Outlet

Engaging Activity

Allows for personality and design

Encourages fixing bugs rather than focusing on wrong answers

Either students can learn from their mistakes, or can apply math concepts to achieve goals in the program

Helps students conceptualize math theory in a real-world practical sense

Visualize math problems

Teaches students pseudocoding skills through geometric art

Wing, J. M. (2006). Computational thinking. Communications of the ACM, 49(3), 33–35.

Prepares professional and academic minds for the future

Demonstrates the ubiquity of computational thinking

Across multitude of educational disciplines and learning levels

Develops problem solving & critical thinking skills

Exploring Physics and Spatial Reasoning Through Programmable Robots, Connecting Research to Practive

Gadanidis, G. (2017). Five Affordances of Computational Thinking to support Elementary Mathematics Education. Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 36(2), 143-151.

Promotes computational thinking across emerging areas of study

Facilitates a deeper understanding and ability to recall math content

Provides students with context for math theory

Can help shift students perception of math

Low floor, high ceiling activity

Promotes differentiated learning

Tailored Learning

Promotes independent learning

Students design their own learning experiences

Sphero

Helps practicaly apply in-class learning

Introduces to students of accelerometers and gyroscopes

Shows students how geometry theory interacts with the real world

Integrated STEM

Motion of objects/ Kinematics

Math labs

Physics labs

Papert, S. (1980). Turtle geometry: A mathematics made for learning. In Mindstorms: Children, computers and powerful ideas (pp. 55-93). New York: Basic Books.

Promotes 'body syntonicity'

'How would you move your body through space'

Helps students relate math concepts to real-life

Timeless teaching method

Promotes 'debugging'/ fixing math proble,

Cements learning because it is independent and meaningful

Students learn from mistakes rather thn focus on failure

Pen, paper and protractor

Still useful today because it is a low cost alternative to computers

Comparable to Contemporary Scratch

Exploring Spatial Reasoning, Coordinate Grids Through Coding, Connecting Research to Practice

diSessa, A.A. (2018) Computational Literacy and “The Big Picture” Concerning Computers in Mathematics Education, Mathematical Thinking and Learning, 20:1, 3-31,

How to best implement computer learning for mathematics

Promotes analytical framework on decisions regarding best practices in education

Long-term tragectory/ Big Picture

Students learn as they go; do not front load programming coursework

Discusses coding as a social movement

Can be engaging for many students when compared to pencil and protractor

Becoming a main stream/ everyday reality

Using computers for learning in STEM

Develop computation as a form of literacy

Gadanidis, G., & Cummings, J. (2018). Integrated Mathematics + Computer Studies – Gr. 10. Mathematics Knowledge Network White Paper, 1-4.

Shows that stories, a useful teaching strategy, can be used even in math

Teaches students indepenent learning from the teachers instruction

Students can observe the real-world/ practical application of in-class mathematic learning

Promotes the collaboration of peers

Helps facilitate students ability to display their full range of academic and social ability
