Study Notes
Computational Thinking Techniques
- Computational thinking is a 4-step problem-solving process
- Decomposition is the process of breaking down a large problem into smaller, easier-to-solve parts
- Pattern recognition is the ability to find and leverage patterns to efficiently solve problems
- Abstraction is the ability to identify and focus on essential information while ignoring irrelevant details
- Algorithms are a set of instructions used to solve problems step-by-step
- Computational thinking can be applied to real-life scenarios such as navigation, cooking, and even combat strategies.
- The process of decomposition helps create manageable smaller tasks, which in turn helps a team work more efficiently
- Decomposition can be a useful tool when working on a team as it makes it simpler for each team member to focus on a specific problem
- Decomposition helps to simplify the problem and makes it easier to understand
- Decomposition makes problems easier to understand and manage because it separates the problem into smaller, more manageable components.
Computational Thinking Techniques
- Decomposition breaks down complex problems into smaller, simpler ones.
- Abstraction focuses on the essential elements of a problem while omitting unnecessary details.
- Pattern Recognition identifies recurring patterns within data.
- Algorithm is a step-by-step set of instructions used to solve a problem.

Examples of Computational Thinking:
- Decomposition: Dividing a school project into specific tasks for each team member.
- Abstraction : When planning a restaurant choice with friends, focusing on time and cost constraints.
- Pattern Recognition : Identifying the number of sides in different shapes.
- Algorithm: A recipe for cooking a burger provides a structured set of instructions.
