Computational Thinking

• What are the three key components of computational thinking?

  Abstraction, decomposition, algorithmic thinking
• What does abstraction involve in computational thinking?

  Ignoring unnecessary information to focus on important facts
• Why is abstraction important in problem-solving?

  It simplifies a problem to make it less complex
• What is decomposition in computational thinking?

  Breaking a problem down into smaller tasks
• Why is decomposition important in problem-solving?

  It allows individual problems to be tested and solved separately
• How does decomposition facilitate teamwork?

  Different people can work on different parts of a problem
• What is algorithmic thinking?

  Following logical steps to solve a problem
• What does algorithmic thinking involve?

  Breaking down problems using decomposition and considering data
• What are the key processes involved in computational thinking?

  • Abstraction: Focus on important facts
  • Decomposition: Break down into smaller tasks
  • Algorithmic thinking: Follow logical steps to solve
• Why is computational thinking essential in problem-solving?

  • Simplifies complex problems
