Abstraction: Kindergarten to Grade 3
In this 30-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of abstraction.
Abstraction reduces how hard a problem or task is by focusing on what's important. We do that by deciding what the important information is and then removing all the unnecessary details. Abstra...
