Computational Thinking Quiz

The goal of Computational Thinking is to help you:

• Solve problems

• Fix computers

• Understand code

• Collect data

Which CT strategies are always required for every problem?

• None of them

Each iteration of a problem should _____ the previous iteration.

• Copy

• Ignore

• Build on

• Complicate

Which of these is a definition for "ITERATION"?

• the representation of sound or words by letters.

• part of repeating steps, or instructions , over and over again.

• a simplified version of something technical

• iteration

Answer explanation

a simplified version of something technical = ABSTRACT

the representation of sound or words by letters. = LITERATION

DATA about the problem can help you decide:

• Which strategies to use
