Helping Others

What You'll Learn

๐Ÿง  Why should we help others? Because it makes the world better. Because someone helped US once. 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!
