Lesson 4 — Teamwork: Divide the Work

Age: Grades 1–3 (ages 6–9) Duration: 20 minutes Format: Web game (play right away, no prep needed) Concept: Decomposition — well-split work can happen AT THE SAME TIME (parallel!), finishing faster than taking turns

Learning Objective

Kids tell which tasks "can happen at the same time" and which "must wait for each other" — the basis of parallel work.

Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)

Make it real: tonight, let your child divide up dinner chores — who can do what in parallel — and time the result.
