Introduction

Hello,

I am Elaine Wood, a STEM Consultant with the Douglas County School System in Georgia.  I recently retired from my job as STEM Coordinator, but it's hard to stay retired.  Now I'm working "part time."

I have heard from other educators that Scratch can be used to teach math concepts, and I'm curious to see how that can be done.

I just did a search for "Scratch spirograph" and turned up a number of hits. This is a nice topic containing a little bit of art, a little bit of geometry, and (if I recall correctly) the notion of a greatest common divisor (if you dig deep enough).

Hello Elaine. My name is Ángel Martínez Recio.

I am using Scratch for teaching mathematics. You can see it in my Website:

 https://matematicaenprimaria.com/matematica-con-scratch-2/

I will even offer a course in October with this subject through the Thales Society of mathematics teachers.

The problem is that this Website and all of my resources are in Spanish. Also the course.

Kind regards
