Computational thinking (CT) has emerged as a critical 21st-century skill, prompting its integration into educational curricula worldwide. For many educators, CT represents a novel concept as they navigate ways to nurture students' CT capabilities through the application of its key components: decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, use of models and simulations, algorithms, and generalizations. In this presentation, we delve into evidence-based practices related to CT activities within primary mathematics. Jodie, through her research with primary school students engaged in a CT project, will share insights and practical implications for fostering both mathematical knowledge and computational thinking simultaneously.

Key takeaways:
Computational thinking can be integrated into primary mathematics classroom to develop mathematical concepts as well as foster deep thinking skills.
