SRI Education and faculty from the University of North Alabama (UNA) used design-based implementation research to iteratively revise and refine the design and implementation of the Collaborative Partnership to Teach Mathematical Reasoning through Computer Programming (CPR2). CPR2 is built on UNA’s years of experience providing middle and high school math and computer science teachers with professional development on how to use Python programming for teaching mathematical generalization. Through an intensive, 2-week summer institute and lesson plans using a four-step Instructional model, middle and high school teachers learned how to directly deliver CPR2-aligned lessons to help students learn mathematical generalization through novice Python programming.
