Knowledge and Skills Statement

Computational thinking--applications. The student, with guidance from an educator, applies the fundamentals of computer science. 

The further explanation is designed to be a resource for educators that helps them better understand the topic their students are learning. Further explanations may be written at a more complex level than would be expected for students at the grade level.

Computational thinking is a thinking process used to solve problems logically and methodically. Computational thinking promotes a purposeful, describable, and replicable method of problem solving. 
 

Ask students to create a code sequence or step-by-step directions that moves an object or person to a specific location. Ask students to explain their work.
