How Thinking Cap fits into Ontario Curriculum
Teaching students about computer science and coding can be challenging, especially if you don’t have any technical background. But the reality is that less than 40% of public school teachers in North America are required to teach a subject that they’re not qualified for.
Thinking Cap is here to help.
We offer a complete computer science education package designed by fulfilling Ontario’s education requisites.
An intuitive online app that helps teachers teach computer science requisites such as coding, career paths, and ethics.
Propel fulfills the following requisites under Ontario Curriculum:
Grade 9 Math: C2. Coding
C2.1 use coding to demonstrate an understanding of algebraic concepts including variables, parameters, equations, and inequalities
C2.2 create code by decomposing situations into computational steps in order to represent mathematical concepts and relationships, and to solve problems
C2.3 read code to predict its outcome, and alter code to adjust constraints, parameters, and outcomes to represent a similar or new mathematical situation
