Quiz on Computational Thinking

What is computational thinking?

• Thinking like a computer and writing code

• Using a computer to play games

• A way of solving problems by breaking them down and recognizing patterns

What are the main steps of computational thinking?

• Memorizing and copying code

• Decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms

• Randomly trying different solutions until the problem is solved

What does decomposition mean in computational thinking?

• Breaking a problem into smaller, easier parts

• Deleting unnecessary information

• Writing long algorithms

What does pattern recognition mean?

• Finding similarities between problems and using them to solve problems faster

• Creating artistic designs

• Memorizing all information without analyzing it

Which of these examples shows computational thinking?

• Planning the fastest route from home to school to avoid traffic

• Randomly guessing answers on a test

• Playing a video game without any strategy

What is an algorithm?

• A mathematical formula

• A clearly defined set of steps to solve a problem

• Any computer program

When do we use abstraction?

• When we ignore unimportant details and focus on key information

• When we memorize things without thinking

• When we add as many details as possible to a problem

How does computational thinking help in everyday life?

• It helps us organize tasks and solve problems more efficiently

• It allows us to play video games faster

• It is only useful for programmers
