The part I liked best in the Art of Possibility is the idea of looking for what you don’t see.
“What assumption am I making, that I’m not aware I’m making, that gives me what I see?
What might I now invent, that I haven’t yet invented, that would give me other choices?”
The 9 dot problem is a great problem solving activity I have seen and used many times in my life. It introduces students to the idea of thinking out of the box, something we seem to lose as we get older. In my experience, younger students are better at solving these types of problems then my older students.
