Exploring Computational Thinking Skills

Which of the following best describes decomposition in computational thinking?

• Combining multiple problems into a single solution

• Breaking down problems and processes into distinct steps

• Identifying patterns in data

• Filtering out unnecessary information

What is the primary goal of pattern recognition in computational thinking?

• To create new problems

• To identify common elements or features in problems or systems

• To solve problems without any patterns

• To ignore differences between processes

Which of the following is an example of pattern generalisation and abstraction?

• Describing a problem in detail

• Identifying unnecessary information

• Filtering out information required to solve an identified problem

• Communicating the key features of problems

In computational thinking, what does decomposition help achieve?

• It helps in making predictions based on identified patterns

• It helps in identifying individual elements within problems

• It helps in describing problems and processes as a set of structured steps

• It helps in ignoring the key features of problems

Which of the following is NOT a part of pattern recognition?

• Identifying common differences between processes or problems

• Making predictions based on identified patterns

• Breaking down problems into steps

• Describing patterns that have been identified

What is the first step in decomposition?

• Communicating the key features of problems

• Identifying and describing problems and processes

• Making predictions based on patterns

• Filtering out unnecessary information

Which of the following is a benefit of pattern generalisation?

• It allows for the creation of new problems

• It helps in identifying unnecessary information

• It simplifies complex problems by focusing on essential information

• It complicates the problem-solving process

What is the role of abstraction in computational thinking?

• To add more details to a problem

• To identify and focus on the essential information needed to solve a problem

• To ignore patterns in data

• To create new problems

Which of the following is an example of decomposition?

• Identifying patterns in a dataset

• Breaking down a software project into smaller tasks

• Making predictions based on data

• Filtering out unnecessary information

How does pattern recognition assist in problem-solving?

• By ignoring differences between problems

• By identifying common elements that can lead to solutions

• By adding complexity to the problem

• By focusing on irrelevant details
