Do Now Activity

Do Now Activity 17/12/2021 You are a hotel tour guide. Tourists staying in your hotel expect to be taken on a tour visiting all the city’s attractions. You have been given an underground map that shows all the locations of the attractions and how you can get from one to another using the underground network. • The route must start and finish at the hotel • They must visit every attraction • You can’t pass thorough the same place twice. Good – Describe Decomposition and Pattern Matching Outstanding – Apply Computational Thinking to given problems

Unit 8 Algorithms Lesson 3 Good – Describe Abstraction and Algorithmic Thinking Outstanding – Apply Computational Thinking to given problems Computational Thinking = A way to take a complex problem, understand what the problem is and develop possible solutions.

Computational Thinking 17/12/2021 Abstraction: focusing on the important information only, ignoring irrelevant detail. Algorithmic Thinking: Creating a step-by-step solution to the problem, or the rules to follow to solve the problem.

Abstraction Task 1 – Page 6 17/12/2021 In pattern recognition we looked at the problem of having to draw a series of dogs. We noted that all dogs have general characteristics, which are common to all dogs, eg 2 eyes, 4 legs, a tail and fur. In addition, each dog has specific characteristics, such as black fur, long fur, a short tail, green eyes, a love of cheese, and a loud howl. These details are known as specifics.

Abstraction Task 1 – Page 6 17/12/2021 In order to draw a basic dog, we do need to know that it has: a tail, fur, 2 eyes, 4 legs. These characteristics are relevant. We don't need to know: What sound a dog makes, that it likes meat or that it can be trained to sit. These characteristics are irrelevant and can be filtered out. We do need to know that a dog has a tail, 4 legs, fur and eyes, but we don't need to know what size and colour these are. These specifics can be filtered out. From the general characteristics we have (legs, tail, fur, eyes) we can build a basic idea of what a dog basically looks like. Once we know what a dog looks like we can describe how to draw a basic dog. Good – Describe Decomposition and Pattern Matching Outstanding – Apply Computational Thinking to given problems

Abstraction 17/12/2021 Using the statements below, can you identify the ones that are useful (General Patterns) and those that are not (Specific Details) in in explaining the model of a football team. General Patterns Specific Details Players wear a shirt, shorts, socks and football boots. Gareth Southgate is the England Manager Gareth Bale is a Welsh International player A football team is made up of 11 players. A team is made up of a goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and forwards.

Abstraction Task 2 – Page 6 17/12/2021 In order to be able to calculate the cost of a car journey, we need to be able to identify the factors involved. Some factors we will know before the car journey and some we won’t. Because we are trying to find an approximate cost, we are going to have to do some abstraction. Complete the table below to show factors that will and won’t affect the way we calculate the cost of the journey.
