Numerical Scale

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an interactive tool titled “PROs and CONs,” designed to help students evaluate their choices more effectively. It features spaces for two options, where students can list one positive aspect (pro) and one negative aspect (con) for each. What makes this worksheet unique is the incorporation of a numerical scale, ranging from 1 (very bad) to 10 (very good), which students are instructed to use to rate how good or bad each listed pro and con is. This quantifiable element adds a layer of nuanced consideration, encouraging students to think more deeply about the degree to which each factor might affect their decision.

The bottom of the worksheet provides a space for students to conclude which option they believe is best, along with a justification for their choice. This not only prompts students to make a decision but also to reflect on their reasoning process. The design includes an image of a thoughtful student, resonating with the reflective nature of the task at hand. This worksheet is an excellent resource for teaching students to make balanced decisions by evaluating both the positive and negative aspects of each choice and is suitable for various educational settings, from individual work to classroom discussions.
