These are bounded opportunities, not learner attainment. Partial and blocked source requirements remain so.

• partial: When your first approach isn't working, try a different one — being flexible about strategies is part of being a good learner

  Bounded objective and prepared task only; all examples, universal claims and real-world behaviour are not established. Do not withhold necessary information, create confusion, force a wrong method or require a past failure story. Finishing directly is valid. Real flexible response when stuck remains conditional.

• partial: When stuck on a problem, try a completely different approach rather than repeating the same method — e.g. drawing a picture instead of writing equations

  Switch is offered only if genuine difficulty occurs; not manufactured.

• partial: Describe a time they changed strategy mid-task and explain why the new approach worked better

  Optional current process note, not an invented memory of a change.

• partial: Accept that their first idea might not work and show willingness to start over with a fresh plan

  Willingness cannot be forced or inferred from a prescribed strategy comparison.

• partial: If {{name}} tries one way to solve a problem and it isn't working, do they try a different approach rather than just repeating the same thing?

  Prepared adapted check is not a complete equivalent to all source contexts, images or genuine independent habits. Do not withhold necessary information, create confusion, force a wrong method or require a past failure story. Finishing directly is valid. Real flexible response when stuck remains conditional.
