Integrating Mathematics and Digital Technologies: A Practical Teaching Approach Using the 3C Model
Peter Curtis; Brett Moffett; David A. Martin
Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, v29 n1 p3-8 2024
In this article, the authors explore how the 3C Model can be used to integrate other curriculum areas with mathematics, namely digital technologies. To illustrate the model, they provide a practical example of a teaching sequence. T he 3C Model is designed to create opportunities for applying reasoning and problem-solving skills and learning coding and algorithmic thinking using digital and physical devices. The model comprises three stages: Context of the problem (learning curriculum content within a contextual problem); Capabilities of the device (students are exposed to capabilities of software or physical computing devices in an exploratory or play-based activity); and Computational focus of the unit of work (an intentional and gradual shift in language from child-familiar terms to the more abstract representations of coding). The three stages are situated as the first three lessons of a 5 or 6 lesson sequence.
