Frequently Asked Questions About KS3 Computational Thinking
What is computational thinking?
Computational thinking is a problem-solving approach that involves breaking down complex problems into smaller, manageable parts, using logical reasoning and abstraction to create algorithms, and using computers and other technologies to implement and test solutions.
What are the four key components of computational thinking?
The four key components of computational thinking are: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design.
What is an algorithm?
An algorithm is a set of instructions that can be followed to accomplish a task. It is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or completing a task. Algorithms are used in computer programming to tell a computer what to do.
What is a flowchart?
A flowchart is a graphical representation of an algorithm that uses symbols to show the flow of control through the program. It is a tool that can be used to design, document, and communicate algorithms.
What are some examples of computational thinking in everyday life?
Computational thinking can be applied in many different fields and everyday situations, for example; searching the internet, creating a budget plan, navigation using map, creating a grocery list, traffic routing, and many more.
