CS + Math Resources: Keep scrolling to learn about resources & opportunities to help you authentically integrate topics like computational thinking, computer science, data science, and artificial intelligence into math classes and vice-versa.
How can computing and data science support math learning? This presentation will include a review of work, discuss current debates in the field around Data Science, and share best practices and recommendations from 15 years in the field.

New York passed a permissive and encouraging policy to allow computer science to count as either a mathematics or science credit for student graduation as a district decision. This provision can help students to earn 22 units of credit at the commencement level, including 3 units of credit in both math and science. Read the specifics of the regulation in the October 2014 memo at the link below:
Bootstrap crafts free, research-based, integrated Computer Science and Data Science modules for Math, Science, Business and Social Studies classes grades 5-12.
Data Science for Everyone is a coalition advancing data science education so that every K-12 student is equipped with the data literacy skills needed to succeed in our modern world.
Modules prepared by Pennsylvania Education Groups to prepare teachers in grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 to integrate computer science and math with videos, links, and examples.
Integration is a strategy that involves learning and applying a variety of subject matters within the same lesson. CS is a discipline that can be integrated with other subjects and provides learners a picture of how our society functions with technology. It exposes students to other professions that use computer science. Computational thinking can deepen understanding of subject matter content and, vice versa, this content can be useful to explore computing.
The C-STEM Math-ICT Curriculum from UC Davis provides K-12 students with up to 13 years of integrated learning of math and computer science. C-STEM curriculum includes teaching strategies, textbook, and courseware with lesson plans, PowerPoint lessons, video lessons, group computing activities, and optional robotics activities.
Integrating CT into mathematics can help students better understand how to express procedures as a series of logical, precise, repeatable steps that deliver an expected result...and a correct solution.
The First In Math CT WORLD games strengthen the ability to think logically at several levels and multiple steps ahead. Games boost confidence in dealing with complexity, persistence in working with difficult problems, tolerance for ambiguity and the ability to deal with open-ended problems.
