Abstraction Unplugged Activity

Computing  

• Abstraction is part of the overarching aims of the computing curriculum which seeks to ensure that all pupils ‘can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation’

Art & Design

• Pupils should be taught to improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials (for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay)

Computing Science

• Understanding the world through computational thinking
• Abstraction is part of the overarching aims of the computing curriculum which seeks to ensure that all pupils: ‘can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation.’

Expressive Arts

• Evaluating and Appreciating
• Pupils should be taught to analyse, explore and reflect on their own and other’s work and develop an enquiring mind.
