Starting Points

Spanish translation: puntos de inicio

English term or phrase: Starting Points
This is a subtitle in a textbook. Each chapter is divided into two parts: "starting points" asks general questions about the subject matter of the chapter, and "ideas in action" puts the concepts presented in a practical context.

I had thought "Puntos de Inicio" but I'm worried it might be too literal a translation (for the second subtitle, the literal translation "ideas en acción" sounds ok to me, but "puntos de inicio" sounds strange for some reason).

I appreciate your thoughts.

It was hard choosing between "puntos de inicio" and "puntos de partida" because I think both are good options. Thanks to everyone for your help!
