This learning activity focus on two major elements of flexibility: understanding and handling new circumstances, and Growth mindset and shifting strategy what includes “openness to the change” As a result of this, the activity develops students’ flexibility by
- encouraging them to try alternative approaches when a solution does not work (e.g., different methods, visualization, asking for help),
- practicing the use of multiple thinking strategies so that students don’t get stuck in a single, habitual pathway,
- fostering openness to others’ ideas and solutions, for example, by accepting peer support or working together to find answers,
- introducing cognitive flexibility in a playful way, making adaptation and experimentation feel natural and enjoyable,
- reducing anxiety around making mistakes by shifting the focus from being error-free to exploring and testing possible solutions.
