Principles of Computational Thinking

What is computational thinking?

Computational thinking describes the solving of a problem or complex system that requires a set of actions, also it's the way that a computer can help us to solve it.

What is logical reasoning?

Logical reasoning is the process of using existing knowledge to make predictions. It is about explaining why something is the way it is.

What is a problem?

A problem is an intricate unsettled question, that we don´t know how to solve easily.

What is an algorithm?

An algorithm is a set of instructions or a set of rules, very precise and well defined to solve a problem.

What is decomposition?

The process of breaking down a problem into smaller manageable parts helps to helps them easier to take on.

How is decomposition used in school or real life?

Decomposition is used by designing and managing projects, using Powerpoint, delivering schools curriculum, putting on a school play, working collaboratively, with others.

What is abstraction?

The abstraction is the process of simplifying things; deciding the important details. Knowing the relevant information and the one we can ignore.

How is logical reasoning used in computing?

Logic is fundamental for computing and the computer’s work. Because every operation that a computer does is reduce to logical operations and controlled by logic.

What is pattern recognition?

It’s the process of looking for characteristics in common to find standards; identifying patterns can make predictions, create rules and solve more general problems. Link Title
