Computational Thinking

The first step taken when facing a problem is defining the problem, what is that?

• Trying all available solutions

• Looking for information about the problem

• Developing an algorithm

• Defining the problem

After defining the problem, we should…

• Prepare a solution

• Find a new problem

• Check the results

• Ignore the problem

What should be done after preparing a solution?

• Check the results

• Try the solution

• Re-formulate the problem

• Stop all efforts

Why is it important to reflect on the results after trying to solve a problem?

• To stop the problem

• To be able to start over

• To find out if the results are appropriate

• To be able to replace the problem

What is meant by decomposition in computational thinking?

• Breaking down a problem into smaller parts

• Arranging the same pattern

• Combining all solutions

• Finding the cause of the problem

What is meant by pattern recognition?

• Recognizing recurring patterns

• Creating algorithms from patterns

• Eliminating unnecessary data

• Solving complex problems

What is abstraction in computational thinking?

• Identifying recurring patterns

• Ignoring irrelevant information

• Formulating new problems

• Solving problems directly

What is meant by algorithm in the problem-solving process?

• A list of sequential steps

• Resources required

• The end result of the solution

• The problem faced

Give a simple example of a problem that can be broken down into smaller parts.

• Making a sandwich

• Watching TV

• Listening to music

• Walking

Why is recognizing patterns important in solving problems?

• So that you can ignore the problem

• So that the solution can be repeated for similar problems

• So that the problem becomes more complex

• To reduce analysis time
