Programming, computational thinking and mathematical digital competencies: resources based on cross country comparisons

In this project, we supported Danish mathematics teachers to integrate programming and computational thinking (PCT) into their teaching by exploring and experimenting with the role of PCT in mathematics teaching. The project combined a comparative study of how PCT is integrated in the teaching of mathematics at compulsory level in Denmark, Sweden and England, with design experiments aimed at developing teaching practices that actively build on identified synergies between PCT and Danish mathematics teaching. The project developed a new theoretical understanding of the relation between mathematics teaching and PCT and a curated collection of resources, solutions and organizational strategies that support synergies between PCT and mathematics in Danish compulsory school.
