Solving Problems

Worksheet Description

The Problem and Solution worksheet provides students with a series of relatable scenarios that each pose a challenge, prompting them to come up with practical solutions. The worksheet features three different everyday problems, such as being short on money at the checkout counter, having to manage an emergency call from an old friend when about to go out with a new one, and dealing with a restless dog on a rainy day. For each problem, students have a space to write down what they would do to resolve the situation.

The worksheet is designed to teach students problem-solving and critical thinking skills. By contemplating real-life dilemmas, students learn to analyze situations, weigh options, and decide on the best course of action. This activity encourages them to be resourceful and to consider the consequences of their decisions. Moreover, it helps students understand that there are often multiple solutions to a problem and that thinking creatively can lead to effective resolutions.
