CTE class 6th grade - Introduction of computational thinking KWL student worksheet.

Computational Thinking is a systematic approach used in problem-solving that breaks down complex challenges into manageable components. It extends beyond coding, encompassing techniques such as algorithms, decomposition, pattern recognition, and abstraction. This resource aims to develop students' awareness and application of these concepts, encouraging reflection on their prior knowledge and facilitating their learning goals. Moreover, it highlights how these skills are utilized in everyday scenarios, like following recipes or organizing information, thus demonstrating the relevance of computational thinking across various contexts. Through activities that promote curiosity and connection, students are invited to explore their interests in applying coding to real-world problems.
