Computational thinking, problem-solving and programming

Computational Thinking

A problem-solving method that involves breaking down complex problems into smaller parts to find solutions using algorithms.

Problem Solving

The process of finding solutions to complex issues.

Programming

Writing instructions for computers to execute tasks or solve problems.

Abstraction

Ignoring irrelevant details to focus on essential aspects.

Decomposition

Breaking down complex problems into smaller parts.

Pattern Recognition

Identifying similarities and differences within parts of a problem.

Algorithm Design

Creating a series of steps to solve a problem.

Thinking Procedurally

Dividing and conquering by breaking up the problem into manageable parts, doing each one separately.

Thinking Logically

Making decisions and creating conditionals that affect those decisions.

Thinking Abstractly

Creating a model to represent the problem.

Thinking Ahead

Thinking Ahead

Pre-Planning

Thinking Concurrently

Dealing with multiple things at the same time.

Thinking Recusively

Breaking down a complex problem into smaller parts and solving each part after the other until solved.
