Title: Computational mathematics.
Authors: Tsui, Allen
Source: Mathematics Teaching. Mar2026, Issue 299, p14-17. 4p.
Subject Terms: *Computer programming education, *Computational thinking, *Problem solving, Computational mathematics, Binary number system, Python programming language, Encoding, Visual programming languages (Computer science)
Abstract: The article focuses on integrating computational mathematics and programming into education for learners aged 8 to 16. It explains foundational concepts such as binary arithmetic, data representation using ASCII, and programming with visual tools like Scratch, highlighting how these connect to mathematical principles like place value, geometry, and angles. The article also discusses advancing programming skills through constructs like loops, conditionals, variables, and subroutines, and transitioning from block-based coding to text-based languages like Python. Emphasizing the educational value beyond technology careers, it argues that teaching computational mathematics fosters mathematical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and resilience, preparing students to engage confidently with the digital world.
