They both want to go somewhere relaxing. Bob also wants to go somewhere that offers gambling in casinos. Sue wants to go somewhere quiet They decide to look for places where they can each get what they want. ]]> 2019-02-25 16:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334951645 jbayless21 https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334979486 Susan begins to break down the problem into smaller parts. She needs to find cities that offer gambling in casinos but that also offer a quiet setting. She begins to google cities that have casinos. ]]> 2019-02-25 17:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334979486 jbayless21 https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334980664 Susan sees that most major cities, like Las Vegas, are listed first in her search for cities with casinos. She also notices that the casinos are accompanied by large venues for shows which draw even bigger crowds. As the scrolls to the smaller towns, she sees that they, too, offer shows but at a much lesser frequency making the venue less crowded and quieter at times. Often these small towns also offer other attractions such a small downtown shopping area or family establishments. ]]> 2019-02-25 17:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334980664 jbayless21 https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334982868 Susan narrows her search to include the criteria: "casino, show, outdoor, and shopping." She also includes the words "getaway" and "relax." She finds that there are many small towns that would work perfect for their anniversary getaway. ]]> 2019-02-25 17:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334982868 jbayless21 https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334984574 Susan also realizes that the combination of criteria could lead to other places which might offer attractions they never considered such as waterfronts, beaches, and museums or spas. Sam could not only gamble but have fun doing other activities such as water sports while Susan relaxes on the beach!]]> 2019-02-25 17:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334984574 jbayless21 https://padlet.com/jbayless21/re4cwu72ofmv/wish/334986795 According to the article from Google Computational Thinking for Educators, decomposition is the "breaking down and figuring out what all the parts are" to the problem.
