Abstract: In this paper, we present data from a study exploring the use of coding to promote mathematical thinking. A teaching experiment was undertaken with 40 Year 2 students participating in six 45-minute lessons of coding (one lesson per week for six weeks). All lessons were video-recorded and analysed to determine students' mathematical thinking. Insights from the study reveal that coding contexts promoted higher levels of mathematical thinking for Year 2 students including measuring angles, orientation and perspective-taking, and deducing repeating patterns.
