                      In everyday life, we often come across tasks that appear large, complex or difficult

                      to complete. These tasks may involve many steps, require careful planning or take
                      time to finish. When we try to handle such tasks all at once, we may feel confused

                      or overwhelmed.

                      To make these tasks easier, we use a method called decomposition.

                      UNDERSTANDING DECOMPOSITION

                      Decomposition is the process of breaking down a large problem or

                      task into smaller, simpler and manageable parts. Each smaller part
                      can be understood and completed more easily. This helps in solving

                      the entire problem in an organised and step-by-step manner.

                      Let us understand the concept with the following example.
                      A student is asked to prepare a chart on “Healthy Food.”

                      At first, the task may seem difficult. However, if the

                      student divides the task into smaller steps such as:                          fact bits
                                                                                               Decomposition is one

                      Now, the work becomes easier and more organised.
