Example activity
Why does more homework not always create better learning?
Learners separate the symptom (low scores) from possible causes (tiredness, timing, understanding), and notice patterns across a week rather than a single day.
What progress looks like: The child stops blaming a single cause and starts weighing several interacting factors.
