Decision-Making HO You need extra spending money. You have found a job at the local “Quick-Stop.” The job is Monday to Friday from 3-7 pm. You have soccer practice from 3-5 pm weekdays. What is the first step of the decision making process? What is the second step? Option A, B, C? Pros and Cons? What are the third, fourth and fifth steps and what would be an example? Now, you do the back. Take 5.

Cooperative 5-Square What does “cooperative problem solving” mean? This is a cooperation activity. Divide into groups of 5 (no more). Each group will have an envelope containing pieces for forming squares. Equally distribute the pieces. The task of the group is for each person to form a square. Each puzzle is the same size.

Rules No member may speak. No member may ask for a card or in any way signal that he/she wants a card. Members may give cards to others. Each member starts with 3 pieces, if you have 5 in your group. Form five squares of equal size.

Discussion How did you feel when someone held a piece and did not see the solution? What was your reaction when someone finished a square and then sat back without seeing whether his/her solution prevented others from solving the problem? What were your feelings if you finished your square and then began to realize that you would have to break it up and give away a piece? How did you feel about the person who was slow to see a solution? If you were the slow person, how did you feel? How did you feel when someone gave you a part you needed? Was there a climate of helping of hindering? What is the value of this exercise?
