Once decision makers and teachers understand why it is important to integrate CT/coding with mathematics, it is appropriate to turn to the topic of how this integration might be achieved. This section, appropriately titled Onward to How, contains two resources that will help educators achieve this goal.
The first resource is a collection of five math learning experiences (MLEs), one for each strand of mathematics in the Ontario curriculum. In each, a pedagogically-sound lesson has been adapted to feature purposeful and effective CT/coding components. Each MLE is embedded with planning strategies and descriptions of pertinent CT/coding affordances and benefits. Teachers of intermediate mathematics can use these in their classrooms and/or use them as models for CT/coding-infused lessons of their own creation.

The second resource is an infographic (shown below) that names and describes guidelines that teachers can follow to develop rich math learning experiences that make effective use of CT/coding components.
