Offline tangible coding games, such as the RANGERS and TANKS problem-solving games [1] serve as a strong bridge connecting Computational Thinking Concepts to Mathematics. Offline coding games[2] and activities[3] are inspired by computer science but introduce Computational Thinking Concepts without using a computer. This approach enriches the teaching and learning of Mathematics, making abstract concepts more accessible and engaging[4].

In this presentation, participants will be introduced to coding and computational thinking concepts in a fun and playful manner through a series of engaging hands-on activities. The session will begin with interactive exercises designed to demystify coding, followed by hands-on interaction with the RANGERS and TANKS problem-solving offline coding applications. These applications provide a tangible way to explore computational thinking concepts, demonstrating how these skills are directly related to mathematical reasoning. 

Following these activities, participants will engage in a reflective discussion to identify and articulate the strong connections between computational thinking concepts and Mathematics. This reflection time is crucial as it helps participants solidify their understanding and see the practical implications of intergrating these concepts into their teaching practices. The session aims to highlight the value of offline coding games in making computational thinking a natural part of Mathematics education.
