How did they work? Microsoft, 2011

  8. Scenarios Activity • Form groups of 3-4 people • Read your scenario aloud to the group • Go through the problem solving process steps 1-3 for the scenario. • What is the problem? • What are some possible solutions? • Which solution would you choose and why? • Choose a recorder to take notes • Choose a reporter to share with the class

  9. Your Turn • On your own paper, use the problem solving process to think through a problem you are currently facing in school or one that is likely to arise. • Record your thoughts. Microsoft, 2011

  10. Pre-Test • What is step 1 of the problem solving process? • What is step 2 of the problem solving process? • What is step 3 of the problem solving process? • What is step 4 of the problem solving process? • What is step 5 of the problem solving process?

  11. Review Step 1: Stop! Think about the problem. Step 2: What are some choices? Step 3: Choose one. Step 4: Do it. Step 5: How did it work?

  12. Discuss • What are the potential benefits of using this problem solving process? • How can this process help you persist in meeting your goals? • What are some things that might get in the way of using a process like this? • Use the process at least once before the next class and be ready to discuss how it went.
