Problem Solving In Kindergarten

We are always working on problem-solving in school.  We have been talking about problems and solutions at Open Circle time. As a follow-up to our class discussions, working with a friend, students  filled in the sheet below.  



some of our problem responses




Problem-Solving Sheets for Students 

I love using problem-solving sheets. Some years the kids use them all the time while other years not so much. I just created the pictures for a kindergarten version. 

 At large group time, we created a pretend problem and filled in the sheet together. 

 I find this tool helpful for kids who always want to tell me everything that happens at recess. 

 I often stop them and say fill in a sheet and then we can talk. 

When I taught first grade the students had no problem filling in this sheet

Henry and The Bully and Loudmouth George
and the Sixth-Grade Bully are two great books that deal with problem-solving.

    I am always surprised at how effective the sheet can be for some kids. I am glad you can use them! Open Circle is a great program it is a requirement of new staff in my school system.It is similar to the Responsive Classroom. Have a great day everyone! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Melissa
