This week I learnt about the idea of Computational Thinking, which I discovered is closely linked to Mathematical Thinking and other forms of logical reasoning.

The resources shared in class are extremely valuable, and some of the videos, such as the ‘Sandwich Bot at #casconf16″, found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFUs3GvMSVc, I intend to use when I have the chance to teach this topic.

The activities we engaged in will also be very useful to develop children’s Computational Thinking, and can be adapted to different levels of ability, such as the ‘How to make/Write down the recipe’ activities and also the ‘Guess the number’ game.
