Keep the thinking in the child's hands
The goal is not to finish quickly. A short conversation about a build often teaches more than simply giving the answer.
Ask how they know
Use open questions such as βWhat do you notice?β and βCan you show that another way?β
Leave thinking time
Pause after a question. Let the child touch, move, count, and rebuild before offering help.
Change one thing
After a solution works, change one color, number, shape, or rule and predict what will happen.
