What does pattern recognition mean in computational thinking?
It means noticing what repeats or stays consistent.
Look at the pattern: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, ? What rule do you notice, and what comes next?
96
Each shape is made of white and shaded squares and equals a number. Can you find the rule and calculate the missing value for the last shape?
14
🧩 Look carefully at the 3D trailer made of cubes. From the side, top, and back views, you can see how the cubes are arranged. 👉 How many cubes are there in total?

B
When solving a big problem, what is the main purpose of decomposition?
To break it into smaller, easier parts that can be solved step by step.
Why do programmers use abstraction when writing code?
To break problems into smaller parts
To test every single step manually
To make the code look longer and more detailed
To hide unnecessary details and focus only the important
Which real-life example best shows decomposition?
Ignoring difficult steps in a process
Using a washing machine without knowing how it works
Dividing a project into research, writing, and presentation
Memorizing the whole textbook at once
Which real-life example best shows abstraction?
Building a robot from scratch
Fixing a car engine by yourself
Using a steering wheel without thinking about the engine
Understanding every wire inside your phone
