Problem and Solution for First Grade
- Read Alouds , Reading & Literacy
Being able to easily identify the problem and solution in a story is a foundational reading comprehension skill for first grade students.
It's an activity that can be done with every single read aloud.
It can (and should) be done whole group, in small group, with partners, in literacy stations and during independent reading.
It's also a great skill for parents to work on at home.
Describing the problem includes:
- Identifying the problem the character(s) is experiencing in the beginning of the story
- Asking questions and making predictions about possible upcoming events and about possible ways to solve the problem
- Understanding how the events and characters influence the problem throughout the story
Describing the solution includes:
- Confirming or revising predictions about the resolution
- Explaining how the resolution solves the problem
- Describing what happens to the character(s) because of the resolution
Examples of Problem and Solution
You might be totally comfortable with the topic of problem and solution, but when we are in the moment in front of 22 little faces, sometime we blank!
It's time to give our students examples of what Problem and Solution is…
but we've got nothing!
It helps to think of a few examples ahead of time and jot them down.
Examples of problem and solution work best if the are real life examples that the students can relate to!
Here's a few examples from the school day:
- Your pencil breaks
- You can't find your book
- You forgot your lunch
- You can't remember the directions
- You left your jacket on the playground
- You don't know how to tie your shoes
- You need a supply that another student is using
By using these real-life examples, you are not only teaching problem and solution, but you are reinforcing your classroom management as well!
How to Introduce Problem and Solution for First Grade
If you teach lower elementary, then you know that there is SO much that goes into the comprehension of a book. First grade students are learning so much at this age and even listening comprehension requires their little brains to work so hard.
Why do I bring this up?
Because I want you to think about how hard they are ALREADY working when they are listening to a read aloud and when you use a mentor text to introduce a NEW SKILL, most students’ brains go into overload!
So what should we do instead?
Start with a non-text activity. Let me introduce you to a new kind of “slideshow”.
I like to use interactive slideshows/powerpoints. My slideshows always follow this order:
- Teaching Slides: Introduces students to WHAT the skill is
- Guided Practice: Introduces students to HOW to apply the skill
- Interactive Practice: Gives students an example and allows them to PRACTICE the skill in an easy and concise way
Problem and Solution Non-Text Activities for First Grade
After we practice the slideshow, then we practice building our problem and solution muscles with some guided and independent practice using a NON-TEXT ACTIVITY such as a station game.
Non-text activities are a HUGE asset to students because it allows them to build and flex their problem and solution muscles before we ask them to apply those skills to a text!
How to Complete the Activity
We will do this activity together as a group first, then it will move into our guided reading stations where students will complete it independently!
I've found the best and easiest way to do this is with images of problems/solutions that my first grade students know a lot about.
My students do this Problem and Solution activity (seen on the right). We do one together as a class for guided practice.
For this activity, students must correctly match the problem and solution. Then I have students write about the problem and solution with an emphasis on why the solution actually works for this problem.
After we do this activity together, it goes into their stations for Guided Reading.
The best part about this activity is that you can leave it out for several weeks because each time students can choose a new set of pictures!
Mentor Texts for Problem and Solution
A mentor text is an incredibly powerful tool for teaching reading comprehension skills!
(make sure you keep reading to the end of this post to see a list of my favorite mentor texts for problem & solution)
The problem that many teachers run into with mentor texts is that there are SO MANY different skills you can teach with the same mentor text….
Sometimes we try to do TOO MUCH and we overwhelm our students!
Let me introduce you to a Comprehension Focus Question (CFQ).
A CFQ is one question that you focus on through the entire text!
It simplifies things for you and your students. (more on that later)…
But let's take a minute to dispel so myths about mentor texts..
A mentor text is NOT a book that you read once and put it away.
A mentor text is a book that you read once, then refer back to again and again and again.
The greatest benefit of a good mentor text is that after you have read it once, when you refer back to it, you aren’t reading the entire book again, you are simply referring back to one or two pages.
It will save you SO much time.
AND students are already familiar with the story line meaning that already have a foundation for whatever comprehension skill you are about to dive into!
How to Boost Comprehension for Problem & Solution
Comprehension Focus Questions
As I mentioned, a Comprehension Focus Question (CFQ) is a very focused and intentional comprehension goal for an activity, a week or even a unit.
If you have done your research and you understand your learning standard, the vocabulary and what students need to know…
Then it becomes very easy to choose a goal (or a comprehension focus question).
But, why do you need a comprehension goal?
To stay FOCUSED!
Not just for you, but for your students also!
Let’s look at an example. Let’s say that this week you are focusing on how to make an inference. Well, there are about a hundred different ways you can make an inference and a CFQ allows you to focus on one area at a time.
Example CFQ: “How Did The Character Change From ___ To ____?”
In this comprehension focus question, you and your students are focusing in on the characters of the story.
The great thing about CFQ’s is that the next time you pull out this mentor text, you can choose a different CFQ to focus on while still practicing how to make an inference!
Sentence Stems
Another great strategy that falls right in long with mentor texts and comprehension focus questions is sentence stems.
A sentence stem is a phrase that your first grade students will use to answer a comprehension question.
Sentence stems are designed to get students to answer comprehension questions more fully rather than giving one word answers.
Sentence stems encourage students to explain their thinking.
I like to have a list of sentence stems next to my table that are specific to each comprehension skill. I stick to one or two stems per skill for the entire year because I want my students to be consistent. (This also makes it a lot easier for them)
If we are sticking with our Make an Inference example, I would use the following sentence stems:
I Think ___ Because____.
I Read This ____ So I Think _____

Solving Word Problems
This concept is hard for students. Thanks for explicit lesson on solving word problems.
We recently began homeschooling my son, after learning that he has not been being taught many subjects due to being in self-contained unit at school because of his behavioral issues. After explaining a few things to him, the material really helped to guide him on to the next part in our efforts to get him caught up. Thank you.

Problem-based lesson plan template.
For additional information on Problem-based instruction, please visit our Teaching Strategies page of the MNSU Instructional Design Services . In order to implement a problem-based instruction lesson in your classroom, there are a few planning steps to consider. Fill in the blanks with your lesson-specific information in order to plan your problem-based lesson.
1. Develop clear and measurable learning objectives (including cognitive and behavioral objectives) – based on Bloom’s Taxonomy
- Students will be able to {verb} {noun}.
Ex: Students will demonstrate the methods of organismal biologists, including observation, phylogenetics, experimentation, and form/function studies.
2. Identify the learning resources students will need to access at home before coming to class. These resources are generally what you would normally do in a traditional lecture format class (lecture, videos, etc)
- Reading materials
- Watch instructional video xxx (name of the video) for xx minutes http://www …
- Exercise on worksheets, if any
- Suggest other learning resources
Ex: Before class on Thursday, please watch instructional video #1.
Learning Resources my lesson will include:
- __________________________________
Technology Resources I will need to create the pre-class learning resources:
3. Prepare the real-world, contextual problem that students will use to explore the content. You can either create a problem or select one from an existing problem bank. Follow the guidelines below for both selecting and creating a problem.
Garner’s (2010) suggested PBL problem elements:
- The topic of concern captures the attention and interest of participating students.
- Students are required to make judgments and decisions by analyzing a variety of options in choosing their best course of action.
- The proposed problem has a level of complexity that involves all team members in the data gathering and decision-making phases.
- Questions are open-ended and invite group members to participate.
- There is a direct connection between the PBL scenario and course learning outcomes.
Students should be able to answer the following four questions when working towards a problem solution:
- What do I know (about the problem or issue)
- What do I need to know to solve it?
- How do I get that information?
- How do I apply that information to determine a solution?
You can also use created problems from resources like the University of Delaware’s PBL Clearninghouse
My problem:
Ex: (From A Principles of Organismal Biology course)
200,000 people applied to be a part of the Mars colonization project. The 40 candidates that were selected have asked you, a biologist, to describe for them what plant or animal life might exist on Mars or what life might exist on Mars eventually through colonization, adaptation, and mutation. Based on your knowledge of Earth biology, what might a Mars plant or animal look like? How could you prepare the colonist for creatures or life they might encounter?
4. Define the procedures for in-Class problem analysis that your students will be completing. Let students know if they need to bring or prepare anything before class. The idea is to create an active learning environment where students interact with the content and the instructor acts as a guide. Activities should scaffold the students into the problem solution.
- Establish ground rules for participation
- Assign discussion groups or roles in the problem-solving process
- Students define facts and significant information surrounding the problem
- Pose challenging questions to further discussion
- Students define objectives and possible solutions
Activities students will complete analyzing the problem:
Technology Resources my students will need to complete the analysis:
Ex: Create a graphic organizer of your choice (graphic, infographic, flyer, blog, etc) that illustrates the lineages of life. Categorize them by one of the following: their biodiversity, anatomy, physiology, development, behavior, biogeography, fossil record, or ecology. Then hypothesize how the lineage might be extended to include extraterrestrial life and add those branches to your organizer.
5. Identify any post-analysis activities that your students will be completing.
- Shift context – students see problem or solution from another point of view
- Follow up discussion
- Shift time frame – “what’s next?”, “How could this situation be different?”
Activities students will complete post-analysis:
Technology Resources my students will need to complete the post-analysis activities:
Ex: Write a counterargument to your problem solution. Take the side of those who might not agree with your conclusions. What alternatives or arguments against your theories exist?
- Create the assessments that you will use for determining students’ mastery of the learning objectives.
- Formative/Summative
- Challenging questions
- Interactive quizzes
- Problem solution presentations
Ex: Using what you have learned in this class, present and describe a lifeform colonist might encounter in the Martian environment. Visuals, such as a drawing, would be useful to help the colonists identify possible lifeforms. Use the scientific method to present your lifeform hypothesis.
Assessment(s) I will use in my problem-based lesson:
Technology Resources my students will need to complete the assessment(s):
7. Verify that your assessments and activities align to the learning objectives. Do they allow your students to demonstrate that they have achieved the learning objectives?
