Abstract
Here's the big idea. Maths is difficult in part because of the language in which it is expressed. Can we find a different language – and set of ideas and approaches – that is more open, more accessible and more learnable. And can we find it without sacrificing what makes mathematics work? Our tentative answer is 'yes' – the language of programming might – if we design it right – be just such a language. ScratchMaths is a two-year computing and mathematics-based curriculum for Key Stage 2 pupils (Years 5 and 6). Its aim is to enable pupils to engage with and explore important mathematical ideas through learning to program. We are using the free online programming environment Scratch.
