This comprehensive unit of work introduces the concepts of computational thinking to students at KS4. It covers all elements of computational thinking such as Decomposition, Pattern Recognition, Abstraction and Algorithmic Design. I have also included debugging within the work.
Each section is explained and followed by tasks to help develop student understanding. I have also included a ‘supermarket sweep’ computational thinking problem and a final project exercise which has three levels of difficulty.
2018 Update: Improved Grammar and clarity of task requirement.
