Some examples of using computing in maths

Mar 09, 2021

Miles Berry

Over the years, I’ve created a number of different examples for how computing might be better integrated into maths education. Here’s at attempt at pulling together some of the things I’ve said, written and made for this.

Data science breakout at CSTA’s Future of CS Summit.

A walkthrough of creating a fractions class in Python, to introduce some of the ideas of object oriented programming.

A presentation, just before the first COVID-19 lockdown, on teaching data skills for all.

Three old walkthroughs (from 2011!) with a snowflake theme: Geogebra, Inkscape and Scratch 1.4.
