• To ignore unnecessary details

• To repeat the same steps

Which flowchart symbol is used to show the start or end of a process?

• Rectangle

• Diamond

• Oval

• Arrow

What does pattern recognition help you do in computational thinking?

• Find similarities in problems to solve them more easily

• Make problems more difficult

• Ignore important information

• Draw flowcharts

Which of the following is NOT a good flowchart design principle?

• Use clear and simple symbols

• Make sure the flow is logical and easy to follow

• Use as many colours as possible

• Label all connectors

What is abstraction in computational thinking?

• Focusing on the most important information and ignoring unnecessary details

• Breaking a problem into smaller parts

• Repeating steps in a process

• Drawing flowcharts

Which symbol is used in a flowchart to represent input or output?

• Rectangle

• Parallelogram

• Diamond

• Circle

When decomposing a problem, what should you do first?

• Solve the whole problem at once

• Identify the main tasks or steps

• Draw a flowchart

• Look for patterns

Which of the following is an example of pattern recognition?

• Ignoring repeated steps

• Noticing that every even number is divisible by 2

• Drawing a flowchart

• Writing code

Why is it important to use standard symbols in flowcharts?

• To make the flowchart look pretty

• So everyone can understand the process easily

• To use more paper

• To confuse others
