Abstract

The Florida State University (FSU) Computer Science Integrated with Mathematics in Middle Schools (CSIMMS) project explores the feasibility and effectiveness of integrating Computer Science (CS) into middle school general mathematics courses. Through Design Based Research, we developed and tested 13 teaching modules that integrate CS concepts into general middle school mathematics courses, grades 6, 7, and 8, beginning in 2017. In this paper, we discuss our experience with integrating computer science into middle school mathematics and report our preliminary findings.
