DLCS18.HS.1
Decompose problems into component parts, extract key information, and develop descriptive models to understand the levels of abstractions in complex systems.

Unpacked Content

Knowledge

Students know:

complex problems may be more easily processed when broken into simpler problems.
that it is important to highlight key details of a problem.
descriptive models can help outline the procedures to solve more complex problems.

Skills

Students are able to:

solve a complex problem by decomposing the problem into smaller, simpler problems.
extract key details needed in the problem
solving process.
develop descriptive models to convey the levels of abstraction in complex systems.

Understanding

Students understand that:

complex problems may be easier to solve if they are broken into smaller problems first.
it is important to identify key details in the problem.
