Question Answer
What is computational thinking for ? Taking complex problems and developing possible solutions then presenting them in a way humans, computers or both can understand
What is decomposition ? Breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller, more manageable parts
What is pattern recognition ? Looking for similarities among and within problems
What is abstraction ? Focusing on the important information only, ignoring irrelevant detail
What is an algorithm ? A step-by-step solution to a problem, or rules to follow to solve the problem
What actually is computational thinking ? Using a set of techniques and approaches to help solve problems
Why do we need to look for patterns ? Problems are easier to solve when they share patterns because we can use the same problem solving solution wherever the pattern exists
