Computational Thinking in Mathematics

Computational Thinking in Mathematics#

Welcome to the official homepage of the Computational Thinking makes sense of Mathematics project, part of the Erasmus+ KA220-HED initiative. This collaboration aims to transform mathematics education by integrating computational thinking and programming at the tertiary level.

Overview#

The CTM (Computational Thinking in Mathematics) project is a partnership funded under the Erasmus+ KA220-HED program. It addresses the digital transformation in higher education by fostering computational thinking and programming in mathematics courses.

Goals#

  • Equip educators and students with tools for integrating programming and computational thinking in mathematics.

  • Create educational materials, tutorials, and group projects to support modern mathematics education.

  • Bridge the digital divide by enhancing computational skills among educators and students.

Objectives#

  1. Develop a pragmatic toolbox for computational thinking in mathematics.

  2. Conduct surveys and interviews to map needs and best practices.

  3. Disseminate findings via conferences and workshops.

  4. Promote gender balance and inclusivity in STEM education.

Key Activities#

  • Designing tutorials for Python programming in mathematical contexts.

  • Developing group projects to demonstrate real-world applications of mathematics.

  • Organizing IndustryMeetsMath events to connect students with industry applications.

Impact#

The project aims to:

  • Transform undergraduate mathematics education across Europe.

  • Provide open-access resources to educators and students.

  • Enhance digital skills and computational thinking for future generations.
