Exploring Decomposition and Problem Solving

What is decomposition in computational thinking?

• Breaking down a problem into smaller, more manageable parts

• Combining multiple solutions into one

• Ignoring the problem entirely

• Solving the problem in one step

Which of the following is the first step in computational thinking?

• Abstraction

• Decomposition

• Pattern recognition

• Algorithm design

What is the purpose of decomposition in problem-solving?

• To make the problem more complex

• To simplify the problem by breaking it into smaller parts

• To ignore unnecessary details

• To solve the problem without any planning

Which of the following is NOT a step in computational thinking?

• Decomposition

• Abstraction

• Guessing

• Pattern recognition

What is an example of decomposition in a real-world scenario?

• Writing a book in one sitting

• Planning a party by dividing tasks among friends

• Solving a puzzle without looking at the pieces

• Cooking a meal without a recipe

Which of the following is a problem-solving strategy?

• Ignoring the problem

• Trial and error

• Complaining about the problem

• Giving up

What does pattern recognition involve in computational thinking?

• Identifying similarities and differences in data

• Ignoring patterns

• Creating new patterns

• Destroying existing patterns

Which of the following is an example of abstraction?

• Focusing on every detail of a problem

• Ignoring all details of a problem

• Focusing on the important details and ignoring the irrelevant ones

• Solving the problem without any details

What is the final step in computational thinking?

• Decomposition

• Abstraction

• Pattern recognition

• Algorithm design

Which of the following is a real-world application of computational thinking?

• Daydreaming

• Solving a maths problem

• Watching television

• Sleeping
