What Is Computational Thinking?
Computational thinking is a problem-solving skill involving a four-step process: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstractions, and algorithms.
Break Down Problems into Smaller Parts
Decomposition teaches children to break complex problems into small, manageable parts—a useful skill as they take on more complex responsibilities.
Draw Connections and Similarities
Pattern recognition helps children look for patterns and make connections between different parts of a problem.
Recognise Relevant Information
Abstraction teaches kids to identify relevant information and ignore unimportant details.
Develop Steps to Achieve Goals
Algorithmic design helps children come up with step-by-step solutions to problems.
