Computational Thinking and Flowcharts

Front

What is computational thinking?

Back

Problem-solving processes and strategies that include: decomposition, pattern matching, abstraction, algorithms

Front

What is decomposition?

Back

Breaking problems into smaller, more manageable problems.

Front

What is pattern recognition?

Back

looking for similarities among and within problems

Front

What is abstraction?

Back

Reducing information and detail to focus on essential characteristics.

Front

What is algorithmic design?

Back

creating step-by-step algorithms

Front

Breaking a complex problem down into smaller problems and solving each one individually is...

Back

Decomposition

Front

Picking out the important bits of information from the problem, ignoring the specific details that don't matter.

Back

Abstraction

Front

A logical way of getting from the problem to the solution. If the steps you take to solve a problem follow an algorithm then they can be reused and adapted to solve similar problems in the future.
