Problem and Solution Unit
Problem/Solution Unit Plan
Lesson 1
Introduction to Problem/Solution
- Tell the students that we will be starting the Problem/Solution Unit
- Have students work with a partner to answer the questions, ‘What is a problem?’ and ‘What is a solution?’
- Come together as a class and discuss their answers to the questions, ‘What is a problem?’ and ‘What is a solution?’
~ Make a list, or working (developing) definition of the both ‘problem’ and ‘solution’ on the board
- Present “actual” definitions of both ‘problem’ and ‘solution’ to class
- Show students an example of a problem and solution ~ Problem presented in picture form, solution presented in picture form
- Have students fill in the Problem/Solution column in their text structure table
Problem/Solution Group Practice
- Give the students problems and have them work with a partner to develop solutions ~ Problem: You forgot your gym shoes at home. ~ Problem: Angela didn’t do part of her homework. ~ Problem: Grace’s friend is mad at her because she forgot her birthday.
~ Problem: Sally’s parents are upset with her because she broke their favorite flower vase.
- Give the students one problem at a time and have them develop a solution
- Come together as a class to discuss the different solutions ~ Make a list on the board of the different solutions ~ If a solution is repeated, make a mark next to it
- Example: 1) Give the students the first problem. 2) Have the students work with a partner to come up with a solution. 3) Come together as a class to discuss the solutions. Give the students another problem etc..
