Computational thinking (CT) and the use of computer programming (often referred to as “coding”) to support math instruction has gained momentum in recent years. Many of the philosophical and pedagogical ideas behind this trend can be summed up by Seymour Papert’s claim that when a child programs the computer, they will acquire “a sense of mastery over a piece of the most modern and powerful technology” and will establish “an intense contact with some of the deepest ideas from science, from mathematics, and from the art of intellectual model building” (1980).
