Standards in this Framework
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| CT.1.6.1 | Select basic steps to solve algorithmic problems. Problems within these standards can be, but are not limited to, real world problems or problems encountered in the student’s daily-life.

| CT.1.7.2 | Compare and contrast examples of high level and low level programming languages.
