Counting Pros And Cons

Worksheet Description

The “Pros and Cons” worksheet is a decision-making aid designed for students to list and evaluate the positive and negative aspects of a potential decision or solution to a problem. The top of the worksheet provides a space for the student’s name and a prompt to write the question or decision they are contemplating. The main body of the worksheet is divided into two large boxes for students to detail the pros and cons related to the issue at hand, helping them to organize their thoughts and see the implications of their choices clearly.

At the bottom of the worksheet, there are lines for students to tally the total number of pros and cons they’ve listed, adding an element of quantitative analysis to the decision-making process. Below this tally, there’s a space labeled “My final decision is:” where students can indicate their chosen course of action after considering the listed pros and cons. The inclusion of an image of a person in a thinking pose adds a human touch and reflects the introspective nature of the task. This worksheet is a valuable tool for educators to guide students in the process of making thoughtful, well-considered decisions.
