Lesson Plan

Smart Little Solvers Plan

Students will learn and practice a simple four-step problem-solving process (Understand, Plan, Do, Check) through collaborative puzzles and individual tasks to build critical thinking and perseverance.

Problem-solving skills are fundamental for academic tasks and daily challenges. Teaching a structured approach helps children become confident thinkers, learn perseverance, and work well with others.
