Workshop Full DescNow that the Computer Science and Digital Literacy Fluency Learning Standards have been released (currently in draft) by NYSED, mathematics teachers have increased opportunity to leverage computer science skills as a means to make connections and increase students' mathematics proficiency. In this workshop, we will explore resources such as bootstrapworld.org, csandmath.org, and Math Adventures with Python on day 1 to build capacity around computer science integrations. On day 2, participants will work to create new learning opportunities integrating computer science as a means of improving mathematics proficiency through increased connections targeting specific content learning standards.
Workshop AudienceMiddle/High School Math Teachers, Computer Science Teachers
Workshop PrerequisitesParticipants will need either a Windows or MacOS device with Python 3.7 or Python 3.8 installed.
