A dip is a lower number, not a lost coin, and a wide view helps.
Nico planted 100 pretend coins and wrote a card: "I planted these to wait and grow."
When the chart fell to 70, it felt like a loss. But a lower number is not a lost coin. The coins are still planted.
A dip only becomes real if you swap the coins while the number is low.
Four things help in a dip: see the whole chart, remember why you planted, ask a grown-up and take a slow breath.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
