So there are times where you just take advantage of opportunities and this week there is the Hour of Code. And since my school doesn't have a Computer Science Teacher I try integrate those skills into our math curriculum - and this week makes an easy start. In the past I have had units using Alice and it has always been a good project -- but the Hour of Code seems to be a much better way to start.
Programming is a chance to apply our problem solving skills that we continually work on in math. I think it is great fit with Algebra through Pre-Calculus. And curriculum-wise I am willing to trade a couple of topics for the students to have this skill.
It is not too late to be part - just go to Code.org\learn. It is worth an hour of time from the math curriculum.
