Substitute something

Combine things

Add something, adapt or alter

Make partsbigger or smaller

Put to another use

Eliminate something

Rearrange parts

Eliminate - omit; take away; get rid of. Sometimes a problem is a problem simply because there is a clutter of extra stuff. So... what could you get rid of to make something better?

Elaborate - add details; make something new by adding on to something already created.

Describe - give a picture in words or help others better understand words by drawing an illustration. Some problems are made easier by simply describing them. Expressing a problem in words or through a drawing often leads to insights that make things plainer and help you figure out a solution.

Combine - join or put things together to create something completely new. Erasers at first were not on pencils!

Rearrange - move things around; place parts in a different order. Sometimes we already have everything we need to solve a problem, but the parts of the solution aren't arranged properly. Rearranging often makes things work better.

Classify - group, sort, or categorize objects, ideas, or people. Grouping things can help solve problems. 

Substitute - put one thing in place of another. This helps you see other options that may actually be better than what you started with!

Reduce - decrease; lessen; make smaller; miniaturize. Think small. Oftentimes, something smaller is easier to handle!

Exaggerate - make outrageous, stretch the idea; make bigger; to magnify.  This gives a new look that calls attention!

Compare - contrast one thing with another, who what's different and alike. This helps us see the key parts of a thing or idea that we might have missed and helps us come up with new solutions.

Associate - pair up; relate one thing to another; form a mental connection between things. This gets ideas flowing and sparks new ideas that help us get past a creative block.

Hypothesize - assume, suppose; make a good guess based on your knowledge. Sometimes when a problem is hard to solve, you can make it easier by standing back from the problem and making a good guess. The guess is a starting point as you work to solve the problem. Your guess may be wrong, but it helps you begin to think.

Symbolize - represent; stand for, what a thing represents or suggests. Symbolism is a way of solving problems. Symbols convey a wealth of information and ideas without using any words! Symbols encourage us to think about many aspects of ideas.

Separate - divide; take apart; break into component parts. This helps you get a new perspective on a problem.

Reverse - make opposite; turn backwards; reflect as if in a mirror. Reversing makes things look different and often solve problems. Some call this working backwards.

Visualization - imagining in the mind's eye what a thing could be or could accomplish.  To imagine.

Divergent Thinking - brainstorming. Thinking up many ideas and not judging any of them for value. Sometimes ideas that might seem stupid at first turn out to be pretty great!

Convergent Thinking - thinking about all the possibilities and all the facts and then coming up with a solution.

Put to Other Uses - thinking of many ways one object or idea can be used in other settings.
