Computational thinking

Computational thinking

1. Algorithms

   • Step by step instructions to solve a problem
   • Provides a formal solution to be followed
   • Flow chart

2. Decomposition

   • Breaking a problem down into smaller, easier to solve parts
   • Each small problem is easy to solve and combines to solve the more complex problem
   • explaining how to change a tyre

3. Pattern Recognition

4. Abstraction

   • Removing unnecessary detail from a problem
   • It ensures only the necessary parts of a problem are solved
   • Making a picture of a duck
