Unplugged – Computational Thinking
This lesson is computational thinking, Sometimes, learning a new game can be tough right At first, it might seem confusing, and sometimes there’s, no one there to teach you the rules, so you have to figure it out on your own. The good news is that you can get better at figuring things out on your own when you know a few thinking tricks.
These tricks are unique ways of looking at and solving problems.
In this lesson, you’ll learn about four tricks and practice them with your friends to figure out the rules of a game.
When you break down a big problem into smaller pieces, you’re using your brain to decompose the big problem.
Once we’ve decomposed the big problem into several smaller problems, we can go on to our next trick, which is called pattern match That’s.
When we look for similarities between things, Once I find the things that are the same, I can figure out what things are different.
When I remove those differences that’s called abstraction After I have figured out the steps to solving a problem, I can put those steps in a specific order, called an algorithm so that anyone can use my directions to solve that problem.
We’re going to use these four steps to figure out how to play the game with no rules By the end of the game.
You’ll be able to play something that looks like this.
