Coding Purposeful Practice Activities in Elementary Mathematics

This session introduces Scratch projects that will encourage students to practice math operations such as addition/subtraction, and multiplication/division. Rather than simply playing the games, students can become active coders by modifying and tweaking the code in the programs. They will be able to build upon the math concepts demonstrated in the original game and can …
