M in <scp>CoMputational</scp> thinking: How long does it take to read a book?

Even at the primary level, computational thinking (CT) can support young students to prepare for participating in futures that are immersed data. In mathematics classrooms, there few explanations of ways CT formulating and solving complex problems. This paper presents an example a classroom investigation (8-9 year olds) over seven lessons problem “How long does it take read book?” The aim is illustrate statistical provide context demonstrate how two complement each other solve problems involving mathematics. findings highlight opportunities challenges face across elements CT—decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition modelling, generalization algorithmic thinking, including recommendations teaching.
