Context : I want me and my partner to think over some problem example a math problem think over
solution to it. Come up with solution

Some lines that come to my mind are -

  1. Let's ponder over it
  2. Lets think over it.

I am not sure if these are correct
How is the word brainstorming different from pondering over / think over

  • 'Pondering over' means something or some issues knocking inside you, Maybe It's quite unintentionally. But 'Thinking over ' means you are consciously putting you Energy on some thing over and over to find solutions.

  • Brainstorming is a technique in which a group of people suggest as many ideas as they can for solving a problem - rather different from two people thinking carefully about it.
