1. Computational Thinking

What is Computational Thinking?

Which of the following is NOT one of the four pillars of Computational Thinking?

What does Decomposition mean in Computational Thinking?

What does Pattern Recognition involve in Computational Thinking?

What does Abstraction involve in Computational Thinking?

What does Algorithm Design involve in Computational Thinking?

Can Computational Thinking be used outside of computer science?

In a game of chess, what would you call noticing that your opponent often opens with the same move?

When designing a video game, what would you call the process of focusing on the key

gameplay mechanics and ignoring the color of the characters’ clothes?

What would you call the process of writing a recipe for baking a cake?

When writing an essay, what would you call the process of creating an outline that structures your argument into introduction, body, and conclusion?

When learning a new language, what would you call noticing that sentences often follow a

“subject-verb-object” structure?

What process is involved in this map?

What process is involved when you try to build a house?

Thinking computationally is thinking like computer.

Computational thinking involves only the use of computers to solve problems.

I can understand what computational thinking is.
