Why R Language for coding in MCV4U

Why R language, In this blog, I will explain why I will be choosing the R language for the data management course, 1. R is an open-source programming language, students can install and use it without any difficulty. R-studio also provides an interactive interface for students to practice coding. 3. “R is the most popular language in the world of Data Science. It is heavily used in analyzing data that is both structured and unstructured. This has made R, the standard language for performing statistical operations. R allows various features that set it apart from other Data Science languages.” 4. Mathematics of data management is a course that is based on data visualization, descriptive analysis, data analysis, and probability. This programming language provides effective tools, functions, and packages to be employed for any type of computational and data analysis. 5. R comprises libraries like ggplot2, plotly that offer aesthetic graphical plots to its users. R is most widely recognized for its stunning visualizations, which can be used by students to be familiar with the beauties of the data world. 6. R is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world today. It is used in almost every industry, ranging from finance, and banking to medicine and manufacturing. R is used for portfolio management, and risk analytics in finance and banking industries. It is used for carrying out an analysis of drug discovery and genomic analysis in bioinformatics. R is also used to implement various statistical measures to optimize industrial processes. 7. Students have access to many R Packages. R packages are a collection of R functions, compiled code, and sample data. By default, R installs a set of packages during installation. 8. R is mainly known as the language of statistics and data management. It is the main reason why R is more predominant over other programming languages for the development of statistical tools.

How we start learning coding

Image
Hello,    In this blog, I will discuss how we can start our journey in coding , which online resources are available for us.       How we start leaning coding: Although there are several coding components of mathematics de-stream grade 9,I don’t think it would be adequate to prepare students for the post-secondary expectations.  The curriculum is also overwhelming and as a teacher, we can not fully teach a comprehensive package of coding classes because of time constraints. This is way we must introduce coding principles and activating student's curiosity and interest towards the world of coding,  .   The good point about coding field, would be availability of many rich resources. we can help students to develop their coding skills using these materials, websites and online interactive platform. However as the first step, we should educate our students to be able to figure out why they need to learn coding, then they must choose the coding lang...
