Here are some squares.
If you were in the red square, how would you get to the yellow square?
You could try to leave the squares but OOF you are stuck! There is a rule which says that you cannot leave.

| You could move into the green square. | Then into the blue square! | Then into the yellow square!!! |
Here's a new challenge! We need to get to a yellow square. Either one is ok!
So far, we're doing OK! We have entered the green shape. Now what do we do?
| 
|
| We could go to the top blue square | Then go to the top yellow square!!! We did it! But is there another way? |
| 
|
| We could go to the bottom blue square | Then to the bottom yellow square! |
One way to solve a problem is to find some small steps which will take you from the start to the goal or end.
When you solve a problem there can be rules which say what you cannot do.
Sometimes there is more than one way to reach the goal.
1.) What are the steps to get from the white square to the black square above?
2.) What are the steps to get from the blue square to awhite square?
Is there more than one way to get to a white square?
3.) What are the steps to get from the orange square to agreen square?
Is there more than one way to get to a green square?
