A6: Time. Finding the time to bring kids up to speed on the basics of coding so they can start using it as a tool. I had students learn Python using CM's BT and then did many "think alouds" before they were solving problems on their own.#CMChat#CSChat#MTBOS
#CMChat Q6: What is your biggest stumbling block to using coding in the math classroom?
Please use the standard Q6 & A6 #TwitterChat format when replying! #CMChat#CsChat#MTBOS
@leenacodemonkey @CodeMonkeySTU Yes, I had one students who could not get enough problems to code. They would ask me all the time for more. I finally found https://t.co/XzNV1WYbw7 which is all about coding math problems.
@leenacodemonkey @javierfaguilar Yes, because debugging is just part of the coding process. The best programmers are the best debuggers because they have to do A LOT of it!
A5: I did this with my class. It's fun and many problems take just a few lines of code. Kids love learning how to make the computer do their work. Also, teaching someone (the computer) makes students look at the problem in a deeper way. #CMChat#CSChat#MTBOS
A4: I think this is a perfect application of coding. Coding and programming spreadsheets are made for this purpose. It's really an important skill that they'll benefit from long after the class is over. #CMChat#CSChat#MTBOS
@leenacodemonkey Cool application and students could even get creative in coding the 3 step multiplication. Adding creativity to math is a great way of hooking students.
@javierfaguilar A1: I think there's a lot of opportunities, subject-matter wise, where it can make sense. Coding could be thought of as the new calculator in some ways, altho the learning curve is higher. #CMChat#CsChat#MTBOS
