Problem solving for kids
Did you solve the problem you meant to?

This video series covers assumptions, the idea that problem solving is an adventure, getting from a wrong answer to the right one, and how this applies to real world situation like conflict with a friend.
There's also a teacher video to explain some potential classroom activities to try after going through the series.
The core idea: When someone makes a mistake, we usually say they got the wrong answer to the problem. I like to think of it as you solved a different problem than you meant to, and now you just have to figure out the difference between the one you did solve and the one you started with.
