    UNDERSTAND 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 complication.

                     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 a task in a logical or sensible way. It
                     helps you to choose a correct option from the available options.

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

                               STEPS FOR BREAKING DOWN A TASK

                     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

                                 to draw a house.
                     Step  2       Breaking  the  task into  small or

                                 simple steps:
                                 a.  Arrange a drawing paper.

                                 b.  Arrange the stationery.
                                 c.  Decide a design of the house.

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

                                 sequence.

                                                                                                     Stepwise Thinking  81
