Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.42 Problem Solution Structure Student Copy skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A class studied how rain gardens help prevent flooding. Their school added one, but after storms the garden still overflowed. Students measured and found the soil was clay, which drains slowly. The garden was built like a bowl, so water stayed trapped. To solve the main problem, workers mixed sand and compost into the soil and added an overflow pipe that sends extra water to a nearby drain when the garden is full.

Which option best states the main problem and the solution?

AProblem: Students forgot to water the garden. Solution: Water it every hour during storms.

BProblem: The garden had too many flowers. Solution: Remove all plants from the garden.

CProblem: The rain garden overflowed because clay soil drained slowly and trapped water. Solution: Improve drainage by mixing sand/compost into soil and add an overflow pipe.

DProblem: The rain garden overflowed because clay soil drained slowly and trapped water. Solution: Add more clay to the garden so it holds more water.

Solution & Explanation:Look for what is going wrong in the passage (the problem) and what is done to fix it (the solution). The passage shows the problem is: The rain garden overflowed because clay soil drained slowly and trapped water. The solution is: Improve drainage by mixing sand/compost into soil and add an overflow pipe.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In a wildlife center, volunteers cleaned bird nests in a display case, but visitors sometimes tapped the glass, scaring the birds. Signs said “Do not tap,” yet tapping continued. The center solved the problem by adding a short railing that kept visitors a step back from the glass and by placing an interactive screen nearby so hands had something else to do.

What is the problem and the solution?

AProblem: Visitors tapped the glass and scared the birds even though signs warned them. Solution: Add a railing to keep distance and provide an interactive screen to reduce tapping.

BProblem: Birds were too loud. Solution: Remove the birds from the center.

CProblem: Visitors tapped the glass and scared the birds even though signs warned them. Solution: Use smaller signs with fewer words.

DProblem: The display case was too clean. Solution: Cover it with dust so people notice it.

Solution & Explanation:Look for what is going wrong in the passage (the problem) and what is done to fix it (the solution). The passage shows the problem is: Visitors tapped the glass and scared the birds even though signs warned them. The solution is: Add a railing to keep distance and provide an interactive screen to reduce tapping.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A class made a small robot car, but it kept turning left even when the program said to go straight. Students rewrote the code three times, but the problem continued. Then they tested the wheels and found that one tire was slightly smaller, so it spun faster. They solved the problem by replacing the tire and recalibrating the wheels so both turned at the same speed.

Which option best states the main problem and solution?

AProblem: The robot turned left because one tire was smaller and spun faster than the other. Solution: Replace the tire and recalibrate the wheels so they spin evenly.

BProblem: The floor was too smooth. Solution: Turn off the robot.

CProblem: The robot turned left because one tire was smaller and spun faster than the other. Solution: Rewrite the code again (the first focus) without checking the wheels.

DProblem: Students forgot to charge the battery. Solution: Paint the robot a brighter color.

Solution & Explanation:Look for what is going wrong in the passage (the problem) and what is done to fix it (the solution). The passage shows the problem is: The robot turned left because one tire was smaller and spun faster than the other. The solution is: Replace the tire and recalibrate the wheels so they spin evenly.
