Answer and review guide
Accept equivalent explanations when the reasoning is accurate. Open-ended tasks include review criteria instead of a single model answer.

Review at a glance
What to notice and say next
Look for
- •The plan matches the stated goal.
- •The learner records what happened during the test.
- •A revision responds to evidence rather than simply restarting.
Common mix-up
A learner may change several steps at once, making it hard to know which revision helped.
Support without telling
Ask the learner to draw or label one example, then explain the next step aloud. Ask: "What is the first step you can test right now?"
Ready for more
Ask for a second valid solution, then compare efficiency, clarity, or number of steps.
Using Core layout
Offer the printed hints only when the learner reaches a specific sticking point.
Change the response route or page presentation while keeping the learning goal visible. This support choice is not a diagnosis, placement decision, or permanent learner label.
Suggested introduction: Strong puzzle players look ahead. Let's find the clear before we place the block.
Use this page as practice evidence and conversation support, not as a diagnosis, placement test, or standalone grade.
