- ItemOpen AccessCoding and Computational Thinking in Math and Science(Alberta Teachers’ Association, 2018-04) Martin, Steve; Jacobsen, MicheleIn this article, we provide a definition of coding and computational thinking as part of an explanation for why coding and computational thinking skills are important for all students to develop and learn as a part of their formal schooling experiences. We also provide three examples of computational thinking and design activities that have been successfully used in Alberta classrooms to illustrate teaching and learning experiences with coding, and to highlight how learning designs that promote computational thinking, and also allow students to express or develop their understandings of specific curriculum objectives, can create exciting and rich learning opportunities for learners.
