Computational Thinking means to

• break a task into smaller parts

• make a robot dance

• understand a complex problem and develop possible solutions

• use a computer to make a code

Select all that are a part of the computational thinking process.

• Decomposition

• Algorithm

• Abstraction

• Pattern Recognition

• Coding

Decomposition is

• finding similarities throughout the problem/problems.

• focusing only on the important parts of the problem.

• breaking the problem down into smaller parts.

• creating step-by-step instructions to solve similar problems.
