Many of my students get stuck on problem solving because they think that their method of solving the problem isn’t the “right one”. My answer to them is always “There are many ways to solve a problem!” I often talk about the different strategies that can be used to solve the same problem. This Many Ways to Solve a Problem Graphic Organizer allows students to visualize this by having them solve one problem in multiple ways on the same sheet. This packet includes multiple problems with the same graphic organizer, so you could easily use one for modeling whole group, one for small groups and one for students to work on with a partner or independently. Download this organizer for free from my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
