Problem Solving Lesson 2

This is the second lesson in the problem-solving module. This lesson learners will begin to delve into the term computational thinking. Learners will learn about two of the four cornerstones of computational thinking: abstraction and decomposition. Learners will learn about what the two terms mean and will also look at real life examples of where abstraction and decomposition have been used. Learners will practice solving problems through abstraction and decomposition. This lesson will lead onto the cornerstone of pattern recognition. Learners will complete tasks by ignoring irrelevant details and just focusing on important information and by breaking problems down into smaller more manageable steps.
