Summary
Students effectively applied mathematical and computational reasoning to predict real-world measurements, such as the height of Angel Falls in Canaima National Park, when engaged in interdisciplinary learning using technology. The study demonstrated that integrating geography, mathematics, and computing lessons—supported by tools like Google Expeditions—enhanced students' logical thinking and motivation. Action research revealed that real-life contexts made learning more meaningful, with children successfully transferring prediction skills to coding tasks. This approach bridges mathematical and computational thinking while providing practical insights for educators to improve cross-curricular lesson planning.
