Problem Solving and Computing

In the card sorting activity, what were the constraints?

• you couldn't talk

• you could only hold 1 card in each hand at a time

• the sorter could not see the card

• all of the above

In Unit 1 we have been learning about...

• Web Development

• Animations & Games

• The Problem Solving Process

• App Design

• Circuit Playgrounds

What does REFLECT represent in the Problem Solving Process?

• What problem are we trying to solve?

• Make a plan, brainstorm ideas.

• Observe, reflect, and revise my/our ideas.

• Put your plan into action.

The work done (possibly by a computer) to turn an input into an output

• Input

• Output

• Processing

• Storage

A precise sequence of instructions for processes that can be executed by a computer.

• Input

• Processing

• Algorithm

• Storage

A place to hold information until it is needed for processing.

What does PREPARE represent in the Problem Solving Process?

• What problem are we trying to solve?

• Make a plan, brainstorm ideas.

• Observe, reflect, and revise my/our ideas.

• Put your plan into action.

Define "Input"

• A device or component that allows information to be given to a computer

• work a device inputs

• information

• A device that produces output

Define Output

• Work a device inputs

• Information that is stored in a device

• Any device or component that receives information from a computer and produces a result.

• A device or component that allows information to be given to a computer.

My partner and I discuss what we think will be the best way to build our paper structure and write down what we are going to do. What part of the problem solving process are we working on?

• define

• prepare

• try

• reflect
