B) Oval

C) Rectangle

D) Diamond

2. When a flowchart needs to take input from a student or display output on a screen, which shape should be used?

A) Parallelogram

B) Rectangle

C) Oval

D) Diamond

3. A flowchart symbol contains the phrase "Is Score > 50?". Which shape is appropriate for this step?

A) Rectangle

B) Parallelogram

C) Diamond

D) Oval

4. What happens during the Pattern Recognition step of computational thinking?

A) The computer shuts down automatically.

B) Similarities or repeated trends within a problem are identified.

C) Unnecessary details are added to make the problem larger.

D) The problem is drawn as a colored picture.

5. In a flowchart, calculating a student's total marks using addition (Total = Math + Science) belongs inside a:

A) Parallelogram, because it is receiving user input.

B) Oval, because it starts the program execution.

C) Diamond, because it asks a Yes/No question.

C. Reading a student's identification number typed into a school terminal

D. Calculating Speed = Distance / Time inside a computer script

E. Looking at a subway map that shows route lines while ignoring exact street details

V. Arrange in Proper Sequence

Order the steps logically by numbering them (1 to 4)

Sequence 1: Executing a Decision Flowchart Step-by-Step[cite: 9]

Read input values $A$ and $B$ inside a Parallelogram

Start at the top Oval symbol labeled "Start"

Stop execution at the bottom Oval symbol labeled "End"

Evaluate the question inside the Diamond shape ($A > B$) and select the Yes or No path

Sequence 2: Standard Steps of Computational Thinking[cite: 9]

Identify recurring trends or common traits across problems (Pattern Recognition)

Break down a complex task into smaller sub-tasks (Decomposition)

Formulate step-by-step instructions for the solution (Algorithm Design)

Strip away non-essential information to highlight core elements (Abstraction)

3. In a flowchart, a diamond shape can have only one single arrow coming out of it

True False

4. Abstraction involves adding as many technical details as possible to make an algorithm more comprehensive

True False

5. A parallelogram is used in flowcharts to represent active operations or calculations

True False

6. Flowlines connect flowchart shapes to show the exact direction and sequence of execution

True False
