To reading, writing, and arithmetic, we should add computational thinking to every child’s analytical ability. Abstraction. Abstraction. Goals. What is abstraction?. Is it teachable?. How to assess?. Abstraction has two facets. “Removing detail to simplify and focus attention” [p38]. “identifying the common core or essence” [p38].
