Decompose
“What do I
need to do?”
Breaking a
problem into
smaller pieces.
Looking for
similarities
amongst the pieces.
Patterns
“What do
these have
in common?”
Creating a solution
that works for more
than one problem.
Abstraction
“What’s
different?”
Take it out.
Instructions to
solve the problem.
Algorithms
“How can I make this
solution into instructions
for others to follow?”
What gets cut?
Nothing.
