Nia can skip rope only 3 times in a row, so Nia sets a short-term goal of 20 in a row in about two weeks and plans small steps (5, then 10, then 15) and who can help: a teacher, a grown-up and a friend. As the days fill in, each helper plays a part, every step turns green with a check mark, and on day 14 Nia skips 20 in a row and reaches the goal.
