The study is based on examples of programming activities used by mathematics teachers in Sweden, teaching students aged 10-12 years during the first two years of implementing programming in the mathematics curriculum. Little is known about how newly developed visual programming environments such as Scratch could enhance early algebra learning. “Right now, I consider myself that, and it’s showing out on the field.In this paper we consider implications of the current worldwide inclusion of computational thinking in relation to children's development of algebraic thinking. “Obviously, a couple of years ago, I was less than an elite baseball player,” he said. Basabe gets to the park early, putting in extra defensive reps at each position, learning how to get good reads of the ball off the bat from each angle, and working on his bat.Ĭash and the Rays’ front office have noticed the work paying off, something that makes Basabe proud.

It’ll be a situation like that.”Ĭash said right-hander Calvin Faucher, who also began the spring sidelined with an oblique strain, threw his second live batting practice this weekend.

“So (he’ll) play, have an off day, play, off, play. “We’re certainly getting to a point like we need to get him some reps, and we’re not going to run them out there every day to get him caught up with that bat,” Cash said.
