Algorithmics and programming are explicitly included in the mathematics curriculum all over the world, which gives students leaving compulsory education the opportunity to develop Computational Thinking and gain programming experience. Currently, Python programming language is recommended in many secondary school mathematics programmes. This language has all the key features needed to develop computational thinking, and is used by both computer and non-computer scientists to solve academic problems. In addition, this language is used by some of the calculators recommended for secondary education. Teachers must therefore develop skills in this language to facilitate its learning and use by students. This course aims to meet the growing demand for equipping educators and professionals with competencies in Computational Thinking applied to Mathematics through Python.
