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.
