Adapt a known method when time, materials or conditions change. Constraint Challenge is selected when its reasoning mechanism matches an accepted learning requirement and produces evidence a teacher can inspect.
01How the architecture unfolds
- Define the learning target and evidence.
- Run the Constraint Challenge routine with one bounded case.
- Capture evidence and identify the next teaching move.
02The work on each side
Teacher moves
- State the reasoning purpose
- Monitor one diagnostic feature
- Respond to the evidence
Student moves
- Retrieve
- Apply
- Explain
03What would count as learning?
- Students produce an observable response linked to the target
04Across the curriculum
Evidence and judgment
Use Constraint Challenge to make a historical reasoning move visible.
Explanation and application
Use Constraint Challenge to expose how students select and apply a scientific model.
