In this paper we emphasize the aesthetic-sensitive dimension of computational thinking in a scenario of pre-service mathematics teacher education. Through the development of teaching experiments we investigate aspects (skills/concepts/affordances) of computational thinking of mathematics majors emergent in the exploration of a task based on coding with the online application based on a coding application developed using Blockly. The findings highlight the processes of experimentation with technology in which the command named repeat was used in several manners in the attempt of creating nested loops to solve the task. The sensitive-computational thinking points to the perception and modification of aesthetic elements such as the form of objects, colors, symmetries, patterns, sounds, etc. and its relation to commands that compose the code and the overall structure of the code.
