Which of the following is NOT true regarding mathematical thinking and computational thinking?

A teacher wants her students to use Computational Thinking (CT) to solve problems, rather than just writing code mechanically. When presented with a new task, such as finding the best route on a map, many students immediately ask for the specific Python function to use. They focus on syntax and implementation rather than analyzing the problem, breaking it into manageable parts, or planning a solution. The teacher notices that without developing problem-solving strategies first, students cannot approach unfamiliar tasks effectively. She now wants to guide them in thinking algorithmically before coding. Which activity best promotes the decomposition and pattern recognition elements of CT?
