Pelánek, Radek; Effenberger, Tomáš – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2023
To provide practice and assessment of computational thinking, we need specific problems students can solve. There are many such problems, but they are hard to find. Learning environments and assessments often use only specific types of problems and thus do not cover computational thinking in its whole scope. We provide an extensive catalog of…

Robert Santiago; Otis Williams; Jorge Zaragoza; Haiwen Chu; Monique Evans – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
All students want to talk about ideas that interest them, but often, multilingual learners are not offered high-challenge, high-support opportunities to connect everyday experiences to mathematical ideas. We describe a single class period that connects students' everyday opinions with two-way tables and notions of independence.

Burde, Jan-Philipp; Weatherby, Thomas Sean; Wilhelm, Thomas – Physics Teacher, 2022
Electricity has shaped modern civilization in a way few other discoveries have. Nonetheless, few students successfully develop a basic understanding of voltage, current, and resistance or their mutual relationship in simple DC circuits. Despite teachers' best efforts in the classroom, so-called "alternative conceptions" often prevail…
