The development of the first computers in the mid-20th century was a watershed moment in the history of computational thinking. One of the earliest examples of computational thinking was the development of the first algorithms, which are sets of instructions used to perform specific tasks. These algorithms were used to solve mathematical problems and process … Read more
Geometry is not something that is limited to the domains of theory on paper. Examples of shapes and geometrical properties are in abundance in our surroundings, after all, it is by observing our environments that these figures took shape on paper. However, it is challenging to teach about different shapes and their properties to students. … Read more
