摘要：
Our research uses game creation and play to explore methods for computational thinking assessment and practice in mathematics classrooms. We present the first iteration of this research that aims to evaluate the feasibility of using game creation with high school students. Students designed math-related games, modified the game to incorporate technology, then visually depicted the technological behavior in a finite state machine diagram (FSMD). We found that students were able to create math-related games, meet the constraints given for game creation, and design logical FSMDs. These findings preliminarily suggest that game creation can be used as a method for students to practice CT.
