Multiple Choice

Why do we decompose a problem?

• To make it more difficult to solve

• To disregard details that are not necessary.

• To create parts that are more manageable.

• To find a general pattern on the problem we are trying to solve

Multiple Select

Detective Danvers is solving a crime. By doing which of the activities below will allow her to decompose the crime scene? (check all that applies)

• Identify if there are witnesses.

• Identify what crime was committed

• Find evidence in the crime scene, aside from the body.

• Identify the relationship status of the victim

• Identify what lifestyle does the suspects have.

• Decomposition

Multiple Choice

In creating a general instruction on how to bake a cake, we need to identify the specific ingredients needed.

• True

Lost Treasure

A world treasure worth 63 Billion Pesos was stolen, and three suspects were being interrogated, Letty, Sera, and Pan. As an interrogator, you know that one of them is lying, while the other two is telling the truth. The one who lies is the thief. Based on your interrogation, the following suspects made the following statements:

 

Letty said that she is not the thief.

 

Sera said that she is not the thief.

 

Pan said that Sera is the thief.

Using your computational thinking skills, can you identify who stole the 63B worth treasure?
