OAA: can you break down a task to solve a problem, then reflect on it?
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can break down a task to solve a problem, then reflect on my performance afterwards.
Key learning points
- Move: manoeuvring your body through tight spaces requires you to use your full range of motion.
- Think: using logical and creative thinking enables the correct solution to be found.
- Feel: reduce errors by increasing patience and allowing yourself to take your time.
- Connect: offering reassurance when a solution is not found will help maintain others' morale.
Keywords
Manoeuvre - a controlled movement or action to change position or direction
Flexibility - the ability to move your joints and muscles through a full range of motion
Solution - a way to successfully solve a problem or overcome a challenge

You need either logical thinking or creative thinking in isolation.
When you use both logical and creative thinking together, you can plan clearly, adjust your approach and find the best solution, even when a task is challenging.
