How is problem and solution different in a nonfiction text?

A nonfiction text often names one problem and several solutions, like the town that adds a crossing guard and a signal at a busy crosswalk. Children chart each solution and decide which one worked best.

What if my child writes a different fix?

That is the goal of the last question. Any idea that would really solve the problem counts, and the answer key gives a sample.

Is there an answer key for each worksheet?

Yes. All eight problem and solution sheets have an answer key.

How many 3rd Grade problem and solution worksheets are there?

8 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

What age are problem and solution worksheets for?

These are written for 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 8-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Are these problem and solution worksheets aligned to Common Core?

Yes. Each one shows the Common Core code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Can I use these problem and solution worksheets for homeschool?

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.

Frequently Asked Questions

An attempt is a try that does not fix the problem. In the kite story, the first ideas fail before the characters find the solution. Charting the attempts shows how the events build to the ending.
