It’s ok to be in the “Zone of Confusion”.

What is not ok is staying there...So how do I get out?

• Try it yourself
• Ask someone
• Think about what the question is asking
• Write down your thinking - this lets you see your thinking
• Try something you think will work
• Use your prior knowledge
• Try one of the strategies you know
• Try using a tool e.g. calculator
• Talking about it - this lets you hear your thinking
