'We took turns.’
‘We had to make decisions. You disagree with someone and someone disagrees with you and then you have to make a decision.
‘Lots of people were sharing resources.’
‘Some groups had lots of ideas. First we had an idea that we would make a square and then make it into a cube.’
‘We disagreed in a good way.’
How do we disagree in a good way?
‘Instead of arguing, people might say ‘I have a different idea.’
‘When we couldn’t get it through the door, we turned it into a diamond and then it got through.’
‘We had to overcome a challenge. It was challenge to make the cube and cuboids.’
‘We solved a problem. It was a problem to get the cube through the door.’
‘We were encouraging each other.'
