They looked at 105 studies and found that there was a measurable amount of transfer between programming and situations requiring mathematical skills and spatial reasoning. We cannot predict that students learning programming will automatically get higher mathematics grades, for example. Those things transfer.

The biases are notably stark if schools are divided out by minority enrollment, as public middle and high schools with more than 50 percent White students have only 2 percent of mathematics teachers and 1 percent of science teachers that are Black ( National Center for Science & Engineering Statistics ). In comparison to the U.S.

In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics. Berry & Larson, 2019; Levitt, 2019).
