Integrating Computational Thinking With Abstraction In Context: A Project Proposal
The concepts of Computational Thinking (CT) and its link to mathematics provide an assumption that the affordance of CT can be extended to mathematics (Wing, 2006). Correspondingly, their interplay suggests a potential approach in helping the learners abstract concepts that are new to them. In this...

Data collection will commence in September 2023 in-class in which three triads of junior high school students, ages 13-15, will perform the CT-integrated tasks. The researcher will examine the written outputs and scratch pads of the students, review the recordings, and backread through the transcripts.

The researcher hypothesizes that the CT-integrated mathematical task is a context that incites students to reorganize prior mathematical constructs in forming the new abstract construct.
