<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>This book offers a deep dive into computer science integration, providing guidelines for designing elementary CS/math curricula through case studies and practical examples.</b> <p/>How-to books related to computer science (CS) and teaching CS in K-12 environments are often either step-by-step guides or reference books, with little or no connection to pedagogy. By contrast, <i>Coding + Math</i> offers the analytical foundation teachers need to inform their practice, specifically in mathematics. <p/>Grounded in research, the book's mini-lessons contrast visual-based coding with text-based programming and provide guidance in the selection and creation of lessons, instructional materials and CS platforms to help educators prepare students for the careers of the future. <p/>The book: <ul><li>Includes case studies in each chapter, with a research snapshot that contextualizes the key elements of the case study.</li><li>Offers strategies for "getting out the blocks" and introducing text-based CS when students are ready.</li><li>Examines the rationale and effectiveness of scaffolded approaches to CS -- such as block coding, scripted and storyboarding -- vs. traditional syntax-based and problem-solving approaches.</li><li>Ties effective teaching strategies directly to the CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards, ISTE's Standards for Computer Science Educators and the ISTE Computational Thinking Competencies.</li></ul><br><i>Coding + Math</i> will strengthen the ties between math and CS to support students' achievement in math, as well as their future CS course selections and pursuits of CS careers. <p/><b>Audience: </b> K-5 educators<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Nicol R.
