Data and Computing in Grades K-12 Science and Mathematics Education: A Look Back and Forward

Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center 

In grades K-12 science and mathematics education, data and computing have a complicated status—at once central and often peripheral in standards, curricula, and teacher professional. This presentation uses the new report from the National Academies as a lens to look back at the roles of data and computing in K-12 science and mathematics classes. Furthermore, it uses this report to try to sharpen questions and ideas about how data and computing can be integrated across the curriculum and where K-12 science and mathematics education should head in the future.
