What is computational thinking?

Decomposition

Breaking down things that a computer has

breaking down of information

Breaking down of problems to make it so that a computer can understand it

Answer explanation

Media Image

Computational thinking is the breaking down of big problems into smaller ones that even a computer can understand. Lets not mix this up with decomposition because of their similarities. Decomposition is breaking down complex problems into smaller, simpler problems. we use decomposition in things like math.

Jen wants to solve a math problem using the calculator on her computer. She inserts the following numbers: 72 + B2 = 122

This is....

Arithmetic

Logical

Mathematical

Pythagoras theorem

Answer explanation

This question involved: Abstraction and an arithmetic solution. Did we need to know her name? or the device she was using?

No, we didn't need to know either. We simply needed to know what the numbers used were.

What situation/s describes a chaotic problem?

Covid-19

Fire breaking out at school

A Fight

Getting yelled at by classmates

Answer explanation

Whenever we see a situation in which many variables, people or things are actively participating in along with a problem that seems to have no solution it is a chaotic problem.

Why can't a fight be chaotic?

This is because we already have a solution to stop it. By breaking/ splitting a fight it can be stopped. If it isn't stopped an outcome of one or both parties being harmed can be foreseen.

How do you think this could've been observed

Pattern Recognition

Decomposition

Abstraction

Logic

Answer explanation

Even though one can argue about it being decomposition; this is pattern recognition.

Wouldn't Newton have to observe the tides moving when the moon moves? wouldn't that mean that the moon's gravity pulls on our oceans causing high tide early in the morning and low tide later in the day?
