Rob shared the beginnings of a Computational Thinking Progression Framework on how we can track computational thinking in our students. He also explained a num ber of simple ways we can help our students be confident with computational thinking, including: Estimation: provide for LOTS of opportunities for this. Ask children to do this BEFORE they try to solve a problem. Year 0-2: provide 3 numbers for addition problems so you can identify what strategies they are using and scaffold their sharing of these. Number talks: these are 5-10 minute problems which everyone attempts to solve . Sharing allows all students to compare, contrast and justify their answers, and learn more in the process. When running a shared problem, walk and notice students' different answers. Once the solution time is up, say, "I saw lots of answers including 2, 5, 3 etc (relevant to the problem), did anyone get a different answer." This moves students away from their focus ...
