- Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to develop computational thinking skills in mathematics among elementary school students. This research fosters computational thinking in 7th-grade mathematics students. Design/Methodology/Approach: The design of this research is an experimental quantitative design. An experimental one-group design is used. Participants in the 7th grade from one federal school in Rawalpindi were chosen as samples using convenience sampling procedures. As an instrument, pre- and post-tests were used. The study was scheduled for one month. The paired sample t-test was conducted to compare the average scores of the pretest and post-test. Findings: The result of this study indicates that unplugged games is helpful for developing computational thinking skills among mathematics students at the elementary level. Implications/Originality/Value: It is concluded from the better performance of the students in grade 7th that the difficulty level and structuring the content of the computational thinking skills training design lesson plans were effective and valid. It has also been concluded that to develop computational thinking skills, lesson plans allow students to analyze new information that is new to them and then interpret it.
