Lesson Plan
Decision Tree Toolkit
Students will construct a simple decision tree for a common high-school dilemma, outlining at least two possible outcomes for each choice branch and reflecting on responsible decision-making.
Decision trees help students forecast outcomes and evaluate choices systematically, building critical thinking and real-world problem-solving skills.
