Code Class - 5

What is design thinking?

• Looking for patterns to solve problems.

• A framework for identifying problems, designing solutions, testing and refining.

• Trying to find a solution.

What is a computer program?

• Software that runs a program

• It tells to see if a certain condition is performed.

• It tells a program when to perform a certain task.

Code, or a program, gives instructions to a computer to tell it what to do.

• True

• False

What are the four main components that make up any computer?

• The processor, memory, inputs and the outputs.

• Keyboard, Mouse, RAM and ROM.

• Printer, Monitor, speaker, scanner.

Breaking down a complex problem or system into smaller or more manageable parts.

• decomposition
• pattern recognition
• abstraction
• algorithms

Looking for similarities among and within problems.

• decomposition
• pattern recognition
• abstraction
• algorithms

Developing a step-by-step solution to the problem, or the rules to follow to solve the problem.

• decomposition
• pattern recognition
• abstraction
• algorithms

When we split up to solve the little tasks involved in opening the breakout edu box we were practicing...

• decomposition
• pattern recognition
• abstraction
• algorithms

Why do we think computationally?

• to help us program
• to help us solve complex problems more easily
• to help us to think like a computer
• to help us plan our actions

Which of the following is an example of thinking computationally?
When going to meet a friend...

• planning your route
• wandering around until you find them
• asking a parent to plan for you
• giving up and doing something else
