AQA A-level Computer Science (7517)Specification point 4.4.1.3

AQA 7517 4.4.1.3: Abstraction

The free BugBot lessons that teach this point, a robot to try it on, and the past-paper questions that test it.

Lessons that teach it

  1. A2.4 Abstraction and models Recursion and computational thinking
    Representational abstraction, generalisation, problem reduction, and a grid model of the mat that differs from reality.
  2. A2.10 Project: out of the dead end Recursion and computational thinking
    Model a maze, solve it by recursive backtracking, and drive the robot out along the route.

Try it on a robot
