Problem and Solution in a Text About Light Pollution
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Problem and Solution in a Text About Light Pollution" is written for 5th Grade (Ages 10-11), and it covers Common Core RI.5.5. If your little one is a year younger but already steady on comprehension exercises, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and problem and solution never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Find the problem and solutions in an original text about light pollution. Text structure is the way an author organizes ideas. Some texts tell events in order, some compare two things, and some explain what is wrong and how to fix it. The directions on the page read: Read the text. Then, turn the page and answer the questions. On page 2: Circle the best answers. Then, fill in the chart and write on the lines. The answer key covers the questions on page 2.
Can I use this problem and solution worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 5th Grade comprehension exercises, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with problem and solution. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
