Computational Thinking

Question 1

What is computational thinking?

Answer 1

Computational thinking allows us to take a complex problem, understand what the problem is and develop possible solutions. We can then present these solutions in a way that a computer, a human, or both, can understand.

Question 2

decomposition

Answer 2

breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller, more manageable parts

Question 3

pattern recognition

Answer 3

looking for similarities among and within problems

Question 4

abstraction

Answer 4

focusing on the important information only, ignoring irrelevant detail

Question 5

algorithms

Answer 5

developing a step-by-step solution to the problem, or the rules to follow to solve the problem

Question 6

This is pretty long but its an ultimate breakdown

Answer 6

Computational thinking involves taking that complex problem and breaking it down into a series of small, more manageable problems (decomposition). Each of these smaller problems can then be looked at individually, considering how similar problems have been solved previously (pattern recognition) and focusing only on the important details while ignoring irrelevant information (abstraction). Next, simple steps or rules to solve each of the smaller problems can be designed (algorithms).

Question 7

There are 4 techniques in computational thinking list them:
