Understanding the problem:
• What is the obstacle you are facing?
• Why can’t you continue with the task?
Identifying needs:
• What do you need in order to move forward?
• What resources or materials could help you overcome this challenge?
Exploring possibilities:
• What can you use from the classroom or environment to help you?
• Are there alternative ways to solve the problem if your first idea doesn’t work?
Decision-making and reflection:
• Which solution seems most feasible and why?
• How will you test whether your idea works?
• What might happen if your solution doesn’t work as planned?
