Modelling Fractals Fractals A fractal is a mathematical set that typically displays selfsimilar patterns Fractals may be exactly the same at every scale or they may be nearly the same at different scales. http://. uoregon.edu/~moursund/dave/index.htm. “Computational . thinking is a fundamental skill for everybody, not just for computer scientists. 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]. Ovidiu P. â. rvu. , PhD student. Department of . Computer Science.
