How-to books related to computer science (CS) and teaching CS in
K-12 environments are often either step-by-step guides or reference
books, with little or no connection to pedagogy. By contrast,
Coding Math offers the analytical foundation teachers need to
inform their practice, specifically in mathematics. This book will
serve as a deep dive into CS integration for elementary teachers,
providing guidelines for designing integrated CS/math curricula
through case studies and practical examples. Grounded in research,
the book's mini-lessons contrast visual-based coding with
text-based programming and provide guidance in the selection and
creation of lessons, instructional materials and CS platforms to
help educators prepare students for the careers of the future.

preparing future teachers to navigate the process; positive
applications of digital equity; and a hypothesis for the future
direction of digital equity in teacher education. This book will
inform teacher education programs and future research, providing
positive examples and recommendations for educational technology
leaders and educators on moving toward digital equity in K12 and
teacher education.
