Sub-Concepts

Computational Thinking Logo
  • (PSA) Problem Solving & Algorithms - Strategies for understanding and solving problems.
  • (DCA) Data Creation & Analysis - Data can be collected, used, and presented with computing devices or digital tools.
  • (DD) Development & Design - Design processes to create new, useful, and imaginative solutions to problems.

Calculation Method for Concepts

Concepts are larger groups of related Sub-Concepts with standards. So the Concept is a calculation of all the related standards that calculate to the sub-concept. So click on the standard identifier below each Concept to access the learning targets and proficiency scales for each standard.
