In this video I explain assumptions for an elementary school age audience. Assumptions are important because if you don't realize you're making them, it's easy to solve the wrong problem.

This video is part of a series on problem solving. 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.
