computation thinking

1. decomposition

   • breaking down a problem down into smaller more manageable problems
     • we use decompostion to work a problem out but make the problem easier by making the problem smaller

2. abstraction

   • Removing unnecessary detail from a problem to create a simpler problem.

3. pattern recognition

   • Identifying repeating elements to simplify a solution

4. algorithms

   • A set of step by step instructions to solve a problem.
   • terminator
     • Start and End of a flowchart
   • process
     • Something that happens
   • decision
     • A question that can be yes or no
