Slide Deck

Welcome to Our Problem Solving Adventure!

Introduce the concept of problem solving. Explain that sometimes we face problems and need to think of ways to fix them. Use a friendly tone and ask students if they've ever had a problem and how they solved it.

Let's Hear a Story

Read the problem-solving story aloud. Use animated expressions and slow pacing to ensure all students understand the storyline.

Brainstorming Solutions

Facilitate group discussion. Ask open-ended questions like: 'What would you do if you were the rabbit?' Guide students to suggest possible solutions and note them on the brainstorming chart.

Let's Reflect

Guide the reflection session; ask students to share their favorite solution or what they learned about solving problems.

Great Job, Problem Solvers!

Conclude the slide deck with a summary of the key points of problem solving, encouraging continued thought about using these techniques during challenges.
