[Yr11 Information Technology] Mathematics and ICT

[Paragreen, Chris J]

Hi Chay,

We’re doing this at Kew High School with some coding in Scratch (many of our feeder schools have done some work with Scratch, so there are a lot of students already familiar with the environment.) Mostly we’re highlighting the use of algorithms we already use in our mathematical processes. To find out more, come to my session at Digicon next week! ☺

Hi,

Just throwing a question out there - if you are a math teacher as well (or familiar with it).

The math curriculum indicates that students are to design and implement algorithm using a general purpose language. Level of knowledge varies from Year 7 - 10.

I was wondering if there are any schools currently doing this in math classes?
Or is it specifically in Digiitech/Computing Classes.

If it is being implemented in Math class, may you please give me a run down on what is covered and 'done' for this part of the "already overcrowded math curriculum"?

Thanks.
