WHAT IS STEPWISE THINKING?

                 Stepwise thinking means converting a complicated task into small or simple steps,

                 to make our work easy. It also lets us know about missing steps, so that we can
                 rewrite the plan before its execution.

                 With the help of stepwise thinking, we can complete a task or solve a problem

                 without any complications.

                 REASONING AND PROBLEM SOLVING

                 Reasoning and Problem Solving are used in the stepwise process to do any task.


                 Reasoning is the process of thinking about the task in a logical or sensible way. It
                 helps you to choose the correct option from the available options.

                 Problem Solving is the process of finding solutions to a difficult task.




                          HOW TO BREAK A TASK INTO STEPS?


                 To perform any activity, we need to follow its steps one-by-one in an organised
                 manner. Let us learn about the main steps.

                 1.   Analyse the task.

                 2.   Break up the task into small and simple steps.

                 3.   Follow the sequence of steps to find the possible solution.

                 To find the solution to a problem or any activity, first, list the main steps. Then, for

                 each step, list the sub-steps.

                 Let us understand with an example, how to draw a house:

                 Step  1       Analysing the task: Here, the task is
                             drawing a house.

                 Step  2       Breaking  the  task into  small or
                             simple steps:

                             a.  Arrange a drawing paper.

                             b.  Arrange the stationery.

                             c.  Decide the design of the house.

                 Step  3       Follow the sequence of steps: Now, draw and colour the house in this
                             sequence.
