Bits and Chips

Additional Book Details

At the intersection of mathematics and computer science lies a mysterious domain where kids and adults can notice patterns, solve problems, and sharpen their logic skills. Some call it computational thinking. Others call it puzzle fun. After youve played around with the 244 questions in this book, you can decide what to call it.

This book was inspired by the questions we co-wrote for the Continental Mathematics League computer science contests. We have written two contests every year since 2014: one for elementary school kids (Grades 3-5) and one for middle school students (Grades 6-8). We have also added a few new questions for this book.
Our questions do not assume any prior knowledge of computer science or coding only an open mind and an interest in solving problems and puzzles related to computer science.
