Q
Computational thinking: pattern recognition
A
Have I done this before or something similar? Looking for similarities among and within problems.
5
Q
Computational thinking: abstraction
A
Finding general principles that generate these patterns (convenience). Focusing on the important information, only ignoring irrelevant detail.
