Abstract
Research shows that spatial thinking (ST) is foundational to mathematics learning1 and computational thinking (CT) and can help students learn math more deeply2. Few studies look at how students use ST, CT, and math knowledge (MK) concurrently. This project is working with teachers to co-design integrated CT, ST, and MK lessons to study how students use ST, CT, and MK and how their knowledge develops over time.
Goal: To empirically develop, test, and refine a CT learning trajectory for elementary students (grades 1-2) that integrates ST & MK.
