• Resumen

  • This article presents the implementation of an activity that investigates geometrical transformations through designing and physically acting out coding programs based on the free software Scratch. The activity helped students integrate mathematics and computer programming content so to better understand geometrical content. Authors of iSTEM: Integrating Science, Technology, and Engineering with Mathematics articles share ideas and activities that stimulate student interest in the integrated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in K-grade 6 classrooms.
