Students receive a special letter from "The Problem Detectives" asking if they would like to join "The Problem Detective Club." In order to join, students must first do some detective work by identifying the problem and solution to four case files. If students can successfully solve each problem, they can become members of the club by receiving a "Certificate of Membership."
In this packet you will find:
-Step-by-Step Lesson Plan (with objective)
-Problem and Solution Explanation Posters
-Problem and Solution Book Suggestions and Correlating Worksheets/Graphic Organizers
-"Wanted" Poster (explaining how to become a member of the club)
-A Special Letter from "The Problem Detectives"
-4 Unique Case Files (each case has a different problem)
-Observation Recording Sheets (where students record the problem and solution)
-Extension Activities (additional case files, write about your own problem/solution, match the problem to the solution)
I love this packet! My students need practice in problem and solution, and this adorable product is just what I needed! The graphics are so cute too! Thank you so much!
I plan on using these activities next week with my second graders! I love the quality of your products and know that my students will really grasp this concept after using your unit! Thanks so much for your hard work :)

I used this as a literacy center, my class LOVED it. Thanks!
I've waited to give this pack a review because I wanted to use it first. Let me tell you, this unit is amazing. My kids loved it. We a haven't completed all of the lessons, but my students have learned a lot. Now, they look at "problems" with a more critical eye. I teach ESE first graders and this was a challenge for them - but in a fabulous way! My principal was also very impressed with the main lesson and told me that she wishes our fifth grade students would work on this skill. Thank you so much. You are a genius!

This goes great with the realistic fiction writing unit we're in. Thank you!
This will be a great help with my high math kids. They're always done before the others even have the first done!

I can't wait to use this in a few weeks. I think my kids will love it.
I have been looking for something that went over problem and solution in a little more depth. This was great. My kiddos loved pretending to solve the mysteries!

Hi everyone! My name is Lyndsey. I am a first grade (third year) teacher. Teaching first grade is magical! I love being a part of my students growth and progress as they experience many of their "firsts" in life.
