• 
  Ignore the colour of a player token in a snakes ladder game model.

• Eye colour

The more patterns we can find means solving our problem will be ____ (pick all correct answers).

• Same

• Easier

• 
  Quicker

• Harder

Which of these are pillars of computational thinking?

• Decomposition: Breaking down data, processes, or problems into smaller, manageable parts

• Algorithm Design: Developing the step by step instructions for solving this and similar problems

• Pattern Recognition: Observing patterns, trends, and regularities in data

• Abstraction: Identifying the most important details and discarding the unimportant aspects to make the solution manageable

• 
  Functional programming - treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data

What is a FLOWCHART?

• A diagram that shows abstraction.

• A visual representation of an algorithm.

• A series of shapes.

• A diagram that shows selecting a burger.
