Is it thinking like a robot? What is computational thinking? No! It is a versatile problem-solving skill. Looking at a problem and solving it systematically. Thinking like an expert programmer?

Decomposition Pattern recognition Abstraction Algorithmic thinking Breaking a problem down into easy to understand steps. Identifying what different problems have in common and using solutions that worked before to help you. Focusing on the part of the problem that really matters and getting rid of the rest. An algorithm is a set of rules that can be described as Algorithmic thinking generating instructions that anyone can use to fix the problem. Computational thinking is made up of: What is computational thinking?

Luckily, Katlego is a skilled computational thinker. He realizes that he only has a little petrol left and a flat tyre . Katlego is taking the children to school but his taxi has come to a stop. He used decomposition to narrow down the problem.

Katlego had similar problems before. He knows he cannot go anywhere with a flat tyre . He used pattern recognition to decide what to do.

He knows there is a petrol station right next to the school and he has enough petrol to get there. That's an abstraction. Focusing on what really matters.

The steps for changing a tyre are: Jack the taxi up Loosen the wheel nuts Put on the new wheel Tighten the wheel nuts. Soon they are on their way again! Many different people use computational thinking every day.

We use computers increasingly in our lives every day. To make full use of all this technology, we need to know how to give basic instructions. These devices and machines cannot work without a human providing instructions. To program them. With supercomputers and computational thinking, it is possible to solve problems that were once considered impossible to solve. Why is computational thinking so important?
