This paper presents a pilot study for an initial assessment of a tangible tool to support end-user programming (EUP) by teachers to facilitate learning mathematics in primary school. The study aimed to explore teachers’ reasoning strategies and mental representations during trigger-action rules composition. The pilot study provided initial insight into the strengths and weaknesses of this approach and useful hints for designing a larger and more robust study
