Computational Thinking

Decomposition means to

• Remove unnecessary details and focus on the important data

• Break problems into parts

What two aspects of computational thinking best describes: Collecting and displaying data to convey meaning in P-2

• Pattern recognition

• Abstraction

• Algorithms

Evaluation means to

• Analyse the data, look for patterns to make sense of the data

• Determine effectiveness of a solution, generalise and apply to new problems
