  1. Coding in MathsClass - Structure and Play Jared Hockly NgãPuna o Waiõrea

  2. if (you have a device) get it connected gotohttp://bit.ly/nzamtLH else Make friends with someone who has(device) == TRUE while(you are idle) attempt the starter Mahi inãianei(starter) How would you space out 6 discs nicely inside the red space?

  3. Kowaiakematau? Ko Te Aroha te maunga Ko Waikato te awa Kei te noho ahau i te Tamaki Makaurau inaianei KoNgaPuna o Waioreatekura Ko Jared takuingoa Margaret and John Kalman trust – teacher fellow … and for a while I’ve been interested in coding and maths and stats learning.

  4. The Why • In the world of coding, knowing maths allows us to do more things • Coding platforms can provide an environment to develop mathematical thinking – to play • Digital technologies curriculum • Computational thinking CT in the NZC • Common content, big ideas, ways of working?

  5. Task 1: Spacing discs • Spacing training task • click the commands • (un automated programme) • b) Spacing disks • Programme task

  6. Thinking about how to teach coding – some structure • Words from Sue Sentence • Predict – given a working program, what do you think it will do? (at a high level of abstraction) • Run – run it and test your prediction • Investigate (Explain) – get into the nitty gritty. What does each line of code mean? (low level of abstraction). I’m not sure that explain is quite the right term. • Modify – edit the program to make it do different things (high and low levels of abstraction) • Make/Create/Design – design a new program that uses the same nitty gritty but that solves a new problem.  I had always called this Create, and it is certainly creative but reading Tedre & Denning’s recent paper caused me to change this to Design, as a key computational thinking skill. https://blogs.kcl.ac.uk/cser/2017/02/20/exploring-pedagogies-for-teaching-programming-in-school/ https://k12cs.org/computational-thinking/

  7. Task 2: Factor finding • Understand the programme • Improve it to run faster • PRIMM

  8. Task 3: Wizard-frog vs Space-dog Fix the programme to fit the graph
