Solving Math Problems with Computational Thinking
As a problem-solving strategy, computational thinking can go beyond computers and coding and can be used as an effective method for solving math equations and math problems. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss criteria for and try classroom-ready, open-ended math problems as we explore ways to make mathematics more relevant to students’ lived experiences.
