Introduction to Computational Thinking

What is Computational Thinking?


What is Computational Thinking?
• Computational thinking is a
problem-solving method that
involves breaking down complex
problems into smaller, more
manageable parts.
• It is a way of thinking and
approaching problems that draws
upon principles used in computer
science.
• Computational thinking helps us
analyze and solve problems
more efficiently.
Importance of Computational Thinking in Problem
•
Solving
Computational thinking is
important in problem solving
because it provides a structured
approach to breaking down and
analyzing problems.
• It helps us identify patterns,
develop algorithms, and create
solutions that are efficient and
effective.
• By applying computational
thinking, we can approach
complex problems with clarity
and develop logical solutions.
Decomposing a Problem

• Decomposing a problem
involves breaking it down into
smaller, more manageable parts.
• By breaking a problem into
smaller components, we can
better understand and solve each
part individually.
• Decomposition helps us tackle
complex problems by focusing
on one aspect at a time.
Sub-Solutions and Problem Decomposition

• When decomposing a problem,


we can identify sub-solutions for
each smaller part.
• Sub-solutions are solutions to the
smaller components of a
problem, which can then be
combined to solve the larger
problem.
• By solving sub-solutions, we
make progress towards solving
the overall problem.
Analyzing Data and Finding Patterns

• Analyzing data involves


examining information and
looking for patterns.
• By identifying patterns, we can
gain insights and make more
informed decisions.
• In computational thinking, data
analysis helps us understand the
problem and find solutions based
on patterns.
Drawing Relevant Information for Problem Solving
• Drawing relevant information
involves selecting and extracting
meaningful data or details from a
problem or situation.
• By focusing on the most
important information, we can
prioritize and make better
decisions.
• Drawing relevant information is
crucial in computational thinking
as it helps us narrow down our
focus and find effective
solutions.
Developing Instructions for Problem Solving
• Developing instructions involves
creating a set of clear and step-
by-step directions to solve a
problem.
• By breaking down a solution
into specific instructions, we can
guide ourselves or others
through the problem-solving
process.
• Developing instructions requires
attention to detail and clarity to
ensure the solution is accurately
followed.
Summary and Recap of Computational Thinking
Concepts
• Computational thinking is a problem-
solving approach that involves
breaking down complex problems into
smaller parts.
• Decomposing a problem helps us
understand and solve each part
individually.
• Analyzing data and drawing relevant
information are important steps in
computational thinking.
• Developing instructions ensures a clear
and step-by-step approach to problem-
solving.
