Science
Grade 10
Computer Science
Computer science is the study of computers and computational
systems. It is a broad field which includes everything from the
algorithms that make up software to how software interacts with
hardware to how well software is developed and designed.

Computational Thinking
Computational thinking is a way of solving problems using techniques
and concepts that are commonly used in computer science. It's not just
about computers; it's a method of thinking that helps you break down
complex problems into simpler parts, find patterns, focus on what's
important, and create step-by-step solutions.
Decomposition
Decomposition
Breaking down a complex problem into smaller,
more manageable parts.
Decomposition
Planning a party:
breaking down tasks such as sending invitations, organizing food, and
setting up the venue.

Imagine you have to clean your room. Instead of trying to do everything at


once, you can decompose the task:
● Put away your clothes.
● Organize your books.
● Throw away the trash.
● Dust and vacuum the floor.
Pattern
Recognition
Pattern Recognition
is about looking for similarities or patterns in the
problems you're solving. This helps you
understand the problem better and find solutions
faster.
Pattern Recognition
1. Recognizing patterns in a sequence of numbers or steps in a
process.

2. Think about the daily routine you follow to get ready for school. You
might notice that you do the same things every morning: brush your
teeth, get dressed, have breakfast, and pack your bag. Recognizing
this pattern helps you get ready more quickly because you know
what to do next.
Abstraction
Abstraction
Focusing on important information only, and
ignoring irrelevant detail.
Abstraction
If you're drawing a map of your neighborhood to show a friend how to get
to your house, you don't need to draw every single house or tree. You
just need to show the main streets and landmarks. This makes it easier for
your friend to understand how to get to your house.
Algorithm
Algorithm
Developing a step-by-step solution to the
problem, or the rules to follow to solve the
problem.
Algorithm
Examples:
If you want to make a sandwich, you can follow these steps:
1. Get two slices of bread.
2. Spread peanut butter on one slice.
3. Spread jelly on the other slice.
4. Put the slices together. By following these steps, you can make a
sandwich easily and quickly.
Why is Computational Thinking
Important?
Computational thinking is important because it helps you
solve problems more effectively. It's a skill that you can use in
many areas of your life, not just in computer science. Whether
you're doing a school project, organizing an event, or planning
your day, computational thinking can help you break down
tasks, find solutions, and achieve your goals.
Q&A
Study Case
Scenario: Organizing a Party
● Decomposition: Identify all tasks needed.

● Pattern Recognition: Recognize common tasks (e.g., communication


tasks, logistical tasks).

● Abstraction: Focus on key tasks (e.g., securing the venue, setting


deadlines) and ignore minor details.

● Algorithm: Develop a step-by-step plan to ensure all tasks are


completed in time for the event.
Summary
● Decomposition: Breaking down big problems into
smaller parts.
● Pattern Recognition: Finding similarities or patterns in
problems.
● Abstraction: Focusing on important details and
ignoring irrelevant ones.
● Algorithms: Creating step-by-step solutions to
problems.
