Mathematical and Computational Thinking Level 4: Computational Representations
In this video Paul Andersen shows you how to use mathematical and computational thinking in a mini-lesson on computational representations. Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides.

TERMS
Computational representations - a mathematical representation that requires computational resources
Phenomena - observable events in the natural world (require explanations)
Solutions - a means of solving a problem

This progression is based on the Science and Engineering Practices elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Use computational representations of phenomena or design solutions to support explanations.”
