Incorporating Computer Programming into Middle School Mathematics Curricula to Enhance Learning for Low Performing Underserved Students is a critical contribution to a national challenge. Improving access to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) landscape for students across the nation is now a national priority. Expanding access to low performing students is particularly important if the nation is to slow the growing divide between those who have access to the technology sector and those who do not. The project infuses computational thinking and programming into students' algebra course experience. Students targeted in the project are 7th-9th grade students in the lowest quartile of mathematics proficiency. Demonstrating a means to not only improve their mathematics' performance, but to effectively engage them in basic computing has the potential to be transformative for this particular sub-set of students.The Algebra Project has developed an effective pedagogical model of algebra instruction over the last 30 years. The project is an experiment in pedagogical innovation. Using MIT App Inventor, students learn basic programming in alignment with core algebraic concepts. The algebra learning modalities are potentially enhanced by greater student engagement and greater development of the logical and analytical thinking necessary to succeed in algebra.

将计算机编程纳入中学数学课程，以增强低表现不足的学生的学习是对国家挑战的重要贡献。 现在，全国学生可以改善获得STEM（科学，技术，工程，数学）景观的访问已成为国家优先事项。如果国家要减慢有能力进入技术领域的人与那些没有的人之间的差异，那么扩大获得低表现的学生的机会尤其重要。 该项目将计算思维和编程注入学生的代数课程经验。 该项目中针对该项目的学生是数学水平最低的7至9年级学生。展示一种不仅可以改善其数学的表现，而且有效地使他们参与基本计算的方法有可能对这一特定的学生进行变革。代数项目在过去30年中开发了有效的代数教学教学模型。 该项目是教学创新的实验。 使用MIT应用程序发明者，学生将学习基本编程与核心代数概念的一致性。 代数学习方式有可能通过更大的学生参与度以及在代数取得成功所必需的逻辑和分析思维的更大发展来增强。
