Code Math TEKS presented by Code.org Affiliates
Karen North, Kim Lane, and Susan Reeves
Practice creates easy from difficult. Coding is a fun practice tool for math. It is a way of communicating, a way of understanding a process and articulating that through code. See how Code.org lessons including unplugged activities build the process standards for K-8 math TEKS through finance, art and geometry.Integrate? Segregate?
By Choice … By Design – By Process … About TIME
“Ask the problem before teaching the method – the process.”
Jo Boaler CAMT 2016 Keynoter
The first step in computer programming is to define the goal.
“If you can guess about IT, IT is in the Real World …
If you can argue about it, it is in your Real World”

Intel Decoding Diversity: The Financial and Economic Returns to Diversity in Tech
- An additional $470 to $570 billion in new value for the U.S. technology industry could be generated through full representation of ethic and gender diversity.
- Every incremental percentage point in African-American and Hispanic representation at NASDAQ-listed tech companies can represent a 3 percent increase in revenues and a potential $300 to $370 billion annual increase in revenue for the technology sector.
- A global productivity boost of $430 to $530 billion could be generated through closing the global tech industry’s female leadership gap.
