Cisco GPS - Understanding the Problem

Students investigate the questions we can ask to explore a problem. After reviewing prior knowledge, students look at some of the reasons why finding out the details of a problem is important to successfully solving that problem. Students then develop a series of problem finding questions based on set criteria. They test these questions on the information presented in the animated series Global Problem Solvers. After refining their questions, students create a graphic based on these questions that can be used to guide problem finding question generation throughout other lessons in this unit.
