Check understanding

  • When stuck on a problem, try a completely different approach rather than repeating the same method — e.g. drawing a picture instead of writing equations
  • Describe a time they changed strategy mid-task and explain why the new approach worked better
  • Accept that their first idea might not work and show willingness to start over with a fresh plan
“If your child tries one way to solve a problem and it isn't working, do they try a different approach rather than just repeating the same thing?”
