If you got a problem let′s break it down!

Got so many problems just break it down!

Got a brand new challenge come on break it down!Lift your hands up and face the crowd!

A big problem is big, some might say large

And if a problem is big you gotta take charge

You might think how we gonna get this done?

Well just break the big problems into smaller ones

OK, so when we are coding it's a good idea

To think about bigger problems as a bunch of smaller problems

Let′s try and use a real life example

To give you an idea of how to do this

Alright, you got a little brother right?

Ya

I want you to teach him how to bake a cake

That's a pretty big challenge, isn't it?

Ya

So first, try and break it down into the main steps

OK, well, first you need stuff

Like what kind of stuff?

Um, the things that go in the cake

The ingredients?

Yes, the ingredients!

Like the flour, and the eggs

OK great

What else do you need?

Well, the things to make it with, like a bowl, and maybe a mixer

Let′s call them the tools

So if you have the ingredients and the tools, what do you do?

Well, you mix everything like it says

Like what says?

The recipe!

Right, you need to follow the recipe steps correctly

Using the ingredients and the tools

Then what?

You need to bake the cake!

Yes!

You need to bake the cake in the oven!

And we will need to know the temperature, and the length of time

Then what?

We take it out of the oven

Then?

We can decorate the cake!

Yes!

So this is great

You took a big problem, baking a cake

And broke it down into four main smaller steps

Ingredients & tools

Mix

Bake

Then decorate!

Now it seems easier to do!

If you got a problem let′s break it down!

Got so many problems just break it down!

Got a brand new challenge come on break it down!

Lift your hands up and face the crowd!

So we've broken things down, but guess what?

In each one of these steps there are even more things

That can be broken down!

Let′s look at the first step, ingredients and tools

And think about what other challenges could come up

Oh there won't be any more challenges

You just get all the ingredients and that′s it

Oh really?

And where do you get the ingredients from?

That's easy, from the kitchen

And where in the kitchen?

Ah, from the cupboards, and also the fridge

And what if you don′t have all the ingredients?

Oh, well you get them from the store!

And do you have money to pay for them?

Well not really

And can you go by yourself?

No, I'd have to ask my mom and dad

That's right, so you see, all of these challenges

Or problems, also have their own little challenges and problems

When we are coding we need to try and think about

And then solve all of the little challenges

In order to solve the bigger challenges!

A big problem is big, some might say large

And if a problem is big you gotta take charge

You might think how we gonna get this done?

Well just break the big problems into smaller ones

If you got a problem let′s break it down!

Got so many problems just break it down!

Got a brand new challenge come on break it down!

Lift your hands up and face the crowd!
