Toku treats idea generation as part of problem solving. A child who can produce several possible moves has more to work with when the obvious route fails.
Generating possibilities can be practised
Experimental work shows that children and adolescents can change how broadly they generate possibilities after divergent-thinking experiences or training.[1][2]
In mathematics, creativity can mean building a route
Creative mathematical reasoning research studies situations where learners have to construct or justify a solution method instead of simply copying one.[3]
How Toku uses this
Toku can vary patterns, logic tasks and problem structures so children practise finding alternatives, not only producing one rehearsed response.[3]
