Puzzle Pathways Lesson Plan

Students will learn four simple problem-solving steps—identify the problem, brainstorm solutions, choose the best idea, and try it out—through guided activities and a cooperative game to build confidence and teamwork.

Early problem-solving skills help children tackle everyday challenges independently, boost their confidence, and foster collaboration. This lesson lays a foundation for critical thinking and social development in a playful, supportive way.
