A 1970s Italian expedition to the Burnt City (Shahr-e Sukhteh), located in the southeastern part of Iran, explored a graveyard in the ancient city and found a set of four elongated dice and 27 tokens, crafted about 4,500 years ago. This four-value die evolved into the modern six-sided cubical die."
“[...]coding can be a great way to get computational thinking into your classroom. Coding gives students a chance to see iterative change. It can further students’ understanding of ideas like abstraction by allowing them to see abstracted objects in code. It can use real-world scenarios to engage students, then connect to their interests to deepen that engagement.” -Tech-Based Teaching
