Milestone Tracking

🔎Case Brief #13

👫 You and your friend disagree about something.

🎯 Your mission

Decide who is right.

⚡ The twist

Plan for the thing you hope won't happen.

What You'll Learn

🧠 A milestone is a checkpoint along the way to your goal. Training for a race? Milestones: run 1 mile → run 2 miles → run 3 miles. 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 — 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!
