Hello! I'm the editor of Tech-Based Teaching, the educational technology blog sponsored by Wolfram Research. We are looking for new authors for the blog. If you’re passionate about using education technology in the classroom, especially in K-12, I would love to hear from you about your cool projects, lesson plans, and more!

Thank you. I will look at these resources. Have a great day.

We are using "An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language" but it doesn't really help us put together thinking through a set of instructions for a particular task. It would be great to have a resource that teaches beginning code along with a particular question/math concept.

Take a look at Bill Turkel's open-access textbook Digital Research Methods with Mathematica and the associated syllabi and course materials (notebooks, exercises etc.): Digital Research Methods with Mathematica and Introduction to Digital History. They're targeted at undergraduates but should be accessible to high-school students as well.

For a more advanced, largely math oriented (but still introductory) textbook take a look at Wellin's Programming with Mathematica. Unfortunately, it's not cheap.

I'm quite interested in the topic but unforuately after looking at the page most of the posts seemed to be focused on lesson planning but I write more about policy. However, your last post "Computational Thinking in the Classroom" is more aligned with the type of subject matter I'm interested in and have contacts in the field who might be interested in contributing as well.
