What you’ll learn
I can solve a series of increasingly complex and physically challenging problems.
Key learning points
- Move: carrying heavy objects effectively requires keeping them close to your body to avoid strain on the back.
- Think: explaining your rationale to the team allows informed decisions to be taken on the chosen strategy.
- Feel: determination is required to resolve more complex problems.
- Connect: encouraging a teammate to share an idea that resolves a problem builds deeper connections.
Words to know
- communication
- clearly sharing ideas, information and strategies among team members
- problem analysis
- breaking down the problem to understand it better and identify solutions
- conflict resolution
- addressing and resolving disagreements to maintain team harmony
Common mistakes
A simple or fast resolution is not always the best resolution.
Sometimes deeper thinking is required to prevent further problems arising as a result of your actions.
For parents, carers and teachers
- While teams/ individuals work out the best options, try to leave them to do so, as this helps to build their problem solving, communication and conflict resolution skills. Offer advice/guidance when and where necessary.
