Key learning points. in this lesson, we will be introduced to three computational thinking techniques: decomposition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking. we will explore how these skills can be applied when solving a wide range of problems, both computer based and in their everyday lives. this content is made available by oak national. Computational thinking involves thinking processes such as logical reasoning. is associated with, but not limited to, problem solving; including defining, understanding, and solving problems. draws on the tools, techniques and concepts of computing (e.g., decomposition, abstraction and algorithmic thinking) involves systematically and.
Computational thinking. 1. finding the one definition of computational thinking (ct) is a task doomed to failure, mainly because it is hard to have a consensus on what ct means to everyone. to ease the communication and have a shared meaning, we consider ct as an approach to “solve problems using computers as tools” (beecher, 2017).

Computational thinking is thinking and solving problems like a computer, or making your data easy for a computer to solve. this is not limited to math—anyone can use computational thinking. it’s about rearranging and reorganizing your thoughts and information logically. it can be used in things like coding and computer science, but you’re. 2.6 varieties of abstraction. in the next video clip, wing compares and contrasts abstraction in computational thinking with abstraction in mathematics and engineering. in the following activity you will make these comparisons explicit.
