Project Justification

After you complete the graphic organizer below, use this project justification document to explain how you used computational
thinking in your project.

Problem Identification. For each iteration of your problem, please explain how you arrived at your identified
problem.

Decomposition. For each iteration where you decomposed an identified problem, please explain how this
decomposition helped you solve your identified problem.

Pattern Recognition. For each iteration where you recognized patterns in data, please explain how these patterns
helped you solve your identified problem.

Abstraction. For each iteration where you abstracted information, please explain how abstraction allowed you to
solve your identified problem.
