Defining Computational Thinking for Mathematics and ScienceClassroomsDavid Weintrop1,2 Elham Beheshti3 Michael Horn1,2,3 Kai Orton1,2 Kemi Jona2,3 Laura Trouille5,6 Uri Wilensky1,2,3,4 Published online: 8 October 2015 Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015 AbstractScience and Mathematics are becoming com-putational endeavors. This fact is reflected in the recentlyreleased Next Generation Science Standards and the deci-sion to include Computational Thinking as a core scien-tific practice. With this addition, and the increased presenceof computation in Mathematics and scientific contexts, anew urgency has come to the challenge of Defining com-putational Thinking and providing a theoretical groundingfor what form it should take in school science and math-ematics classrooms.
computational thinking into mathematics and science classrooms quickly and effectively. In choosing to span mathematics and science broadly, this taxonomy defines a shared language that can be used across classrooms and departments to help students understand the crosscutting nature and broad applicability of computational thinking.
