It's very important that kids learn how to problem solve. It's difficult as a teacher to "teach" how to be a problem solver. I've learned that the best way is to give the students fun mystery situations and have them figure out things on their own. We do a lot of logic activities that require the students to synergize to figure out the answers to their mysteries based on the clues they are given.
Synergizing! The students each had clues after a mystery was read to them. They had to figure out where items were hidden based on clues.
They learned how if one things is true, then they needed to cross out the other items or locations. Great problem solving!
Here is what the matrix looked like!
