Common mistakes
Some pupils might think that if a strategy doesn't work, they shouldn't use it again.
Deciding when to use a strategy is part of the challenge. A strategy that works once will not work every time or against every opponent. Having lots of strategies to try will help you find the one that works best each time.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Encourage pupils to pause regularly to discuss their strategy. Remind them that their choice of strategy might be correct, they might just need more practise to apply it successfully.
