Two Sides of the Story

🔎Case Brief #6

Your group needs to solve a problem using multiple perspectives.

🎯 Your mission

Pick the smartest move.

⚡ The twist

Only one answer can be logically true. The others feel right but aren't.

What You'll Learn

💪 Every situation looks different depending on who's experiencing it. Thinking about other people's perspectives makes you a better, fairer thinker. To use this skill, follow these steps: First, understand the problem. Read it again if you need to. What is it really asking? Next, think about what you know. Have you seen something like this before? What worked last time? Then, come up with ideas. Try to think of at least TWO possible answers before picking one. The first idea isn't always the best! Finally, check your work. Does your answer make sense? Can you explain WHY you chose it? If you can explain your thinking, you really understand it. Remember: smart thinkers aren't people who never make mistakes — they're people who LEARN from mistakes!
