Solving problems step by step
This Computing video introduces learners to the key ideas behind computational thinking, a useful way of solving problems both in coding and in daily life. The video explores the four main parts of computational thinking: decomposition, pattern recognition, algorithm design and abstraction, using simple examples from games, routines and creative tasks.
This video is part of Kapow’s Computing resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Computing curriculum framework (0059). It forms part of the Stage 2 unit Block coding, helping learners develop the thinking skills needed to break down challenges and build clear, structured solutions.
