The goal of Computational Thinking is to help you:

• Solve problems

• Fix computers

• Understand code

• Collect data

Which CT strategies are always required for every problem?

• Decomposition and Abstraction

• Pattern Recognition and Algorithm

• All of them

• None of them

Each iteration of a problem should _____ the previous iteration.

• Copy

• Ignore

• Build on

• Complicate

Which of these is a definition for "ITERATION"?

• the representation of sound or words by letters.

• part of repeating steps, or instructions , over and over again.

• a simplified version of something technical

• iteration

Answer explanation

a simplified version of something technical = ABSTRACT

the representation of sound or words by letters. = LITERATION

DATA about the problem can help you decide:

• Which strategies to use

• All of these

• The order of strategies

• How often to repeat strategies

Which 2 are examples of quantitative data on a group of students?

(HINT: Quantitative means something that can be measured by numbers)

• Height

• Pets

• Hobbies

• Personality

• Grade Level

Which 2 are examples of qualitative data?

(HINT: Qualititative means something that can be grouped in categories)

• The number of students taking a test

• The material covered by the test

• How many questions there are

• The students' test scores

• The types of questions on the test

Breaking down a year of daily temperature data by monthly average is an example of:

• Decomposition

• Pattern recognition

• Abstraction

• Algorithm Design

Noticing that your candy supply decreases every time a certain friend comes over is an example of:

• Decomposition

• Pattern recognition
