Abstract

  • Effective mathematics instruction engages students in making connections among representations. When integrating mathematics and computer science, teachers may address standards in both subjects while supporting students in making connections, thus deepening understanding. Teachers participating in a professional development workshop on strategies for meaningful and authentic computer science and mathematics integration were asked to share examples of how they integrate other subjects in mathematics. In this paper, we will share the teachers’ thinking about such integration before and after participating in the workshop. Additionally, we provide an overview of workshop activities that supported teachers’ thinking about integration. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities related to integrating computer science in the mathematics classroom.
