Join us on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM ET, to immerse yourself in a classroom-ready lesson that creates an authentic need for students to engage in Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking, a core science and engineering practice that is often unfamiliar territory for many educators. In this interactive webinar, we’ll explore how this practice can be used to build science ideas that help explain phenomena young learners find puzzling and intriguing.

Many educators didn’t experience Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking during their own K–12 education, which makes implementing it in today’s classrooms both challenging and exciting. Join us as we venture into this unfamiliar but essential practice together, using grade-appropriate strategies to connect it with the development of Disciplinary Core Ideas and Crosscutting Concepts.

Together, we will reflect on what this practice really means and how it intersects with Developing and Using Models and Analyzing and Interpreting Data. You will leave with a clearer understanding of how to support your students in making sense of the world using math and computational thinking—just like real scientists do.

Who Should Attend:

• Elementary educators
• Science curriculum developers
• Instructional coaches
• Anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the science and engineering practices in the Next Generation Science Standards.

All individuals receive a certificate of participation and 100 NSTA activity points for attending the live seminar and completing the end-of-program survey. A certificate of participation is not awarded for watching the recorded version of the program.

We invite you to register for upcoming web seminars at NSTA.
