Computational thinking

1. What is it?

   • Finding a way of solving a problem with the help of a computer

2. What is logical reasoning?

   • The ability of predicting the output of something
     • Example: as computers are predictable we can guess the result
     • How we use it in computing?
       • It is fundamental to understand how computers work

3. What is a problem?

   • It is a situation or an obstacle that you need to solve like a challenge

4. What is abstraction?

   • To analize the details and understand the most important ones and leave the useless ones.

5. what is an algorithm?

   • Is a sequence of instructions or set of rules to get something done (steps)
     • Examples
       • 1. A recipe
         • 2. Daily routine
           • 3. Scientific Method
             • 4. LEGO handbook
               • 5. Rules for learning somthing new

6. What is decomposition?

   • Breaking a problem into smaller parts
     • How we use it in school in real ife?
       • Planning and essay, your school curriculum, a new project, school play

7. What is pattern recognition?

   • The ability of identifying a sequence that is repeated several times in order to make things faster and easier
