6-8.CT.b.1 Design solutions that use repetition and conditionals.
6-8.CT.b.2 Use logical reasoning to predict outputs given varying inputs.
6-8.CT.b.3 Individually and collaboratively decompose a problem and create a sub-solution for each of its parts (e.g., video game, robot obstacle course, making dinner).
6-8.CT.b.4 Recognize that more than one algorithm can solve a given problem.
6-8.CT.b.5 Recognize that boundaries need to be taken into account for an algorithm to produce correct results.
6-8.CT.d Programming and Development
6-8.CT.d.1 Individually and collaboratively compare algorithms to solve a problem, based on a given criteria (e.g., time, resource, accessibility).
6-8.CT.d.2 Use functions to hide the detail in a program.
6-8.CT.d.3 Create a program, individually and collaboratively, that implements an algorithm to achieve a given goal.
6-8.CT.d.4 Implement problem solutions using a programming language, including all of the following: looping behavior, conditional statements, expressions, variables, and functions.
6-8.CT.d.5 Trace programs step-by-step in order to predict their behavior.
6-8.CT.d.6 Use an iterative approach to development and debugging to understand the dimensions of a problem clearly.
6-8.CT.e Modeling and Simulation
6-8.CT.e.1 Create a model of a real-world system and explain why some details, features and behaviors were required in the model and why some could be ignored.
6-8.CT.e.2 Use and modify simulations to analyze and illustrate a concept in depth (e.g., light rays/mechanical waves interaction with materials, genetic variation).
6-8.CT.e.3 Select and use computer simulations, individually and collaboratively, to gather, view, analyze, and report results for content-related problems (e.g., migration, trade, cellular function)
