What Could Go Wrong?

What You'll Learn

๐Ÿง  Before doing something, ask: 'What could go wrong?' Running near the pool: you could slip. Not studying: you could fail the test. Here's how to do it: 1. Look carefully at the problem. What do you see? 2. Think about what you already know. Does this remind you of something? 3. Try an answer! It's totally okay to be wrong โ€” that's how we learn. 4. Check: did it work? If not, try something else! You're building your thinking muscles. The more you practice, the stronger they get!
