Computational thinking in mathematics teaching in secondary school
Résumé
Researchers acknowledge the importance of computational thinking for all, not only computer
scientists. Strong links between computational thinking and mathematics led to the integration of
computational thinking into mathematics curricula in many countries around the world. This ongoing
research aims therefore to deepen our understanding of what students’ computational thinking is
while solving mathematics problems in secondary school. This contribution reports on an
experimentation of the famous Sissa’s chessboard problem in a Grade 8 class aiming at testing the
operational character of a definition of computational thinking based on existing literature.
