Hello World: Maths & Computer Science (Issue 10)

Mathematics and computer science share more than patterns and problem-solving: in the classroom, each can give students a fresh way to understand the other. Hello World: Maths & Computer Science brings educators’ experiences and teaching ideas together in an issue devoted to that connection.

Where maths meets computing

Explore articles on computational thinking, ScratchMaths, Logo, angles and shapes, and the ways mathematical language can help—or sometimes hinder—understanding. The issue considers how teachers can make abstract ideas tangible through programming and classroom activities.

Ideas to take into the classroom

Alongside subject-focused features, the magazine offers teaching perspectives and practical approaches spanning retrieval practice, challenge-based learning, physical computing, and computing for very young children. Articles on data literacy, a technology-supported school garden, and virtual reality show how computing can connect with other areas of learning.

A wider view of computing education

Issue 10 also addresses questions educators face in practice, including why children should learn to code, where to begin with cybersecurity, and how to support teachers through code clubs. Its mix of classroom examples, research perspectives, and lesson ideas makes this a useful read for computing and mathematics educators looking for connections they can discuss, adapt, and explore with learners.
