2.1 Elements of Computational Thinking (KO)

A set of rules or instructions to be followed to solve a problem.

• Computational Thinking

• Abstraction

• Decomposition

• Modularisation

• Caching

Storing of frequently used items in a location that can be accessed quickly

• Computational Thinking

• Abstraction

• Decomposition

• Modularisation

• Caching

Breaking a problem into a number of sub problems, so that each sub problem accomplishes an identifiable task

• Computational Thinking

• Abstraction

• Decomposition

• Modularisation

• Caching

The process of removing excessive details to arrive at a representation of a problem that consists of only the key features.

• Computational Thinking

• Abstraction

• Decomposition

• Modularisation

• Caching

The process by which we select and group programming instructions that fulfill a specific function.

• Thinking Concurrently

The better you anticipate what needs to be done, the easier it is to do the job when it happens.
