DOT Reasoning and Problem Solving

Reproducible, interactive reasoning game sheets targeting problem solving, drawing conclusions, determining missing information, sequencing, absurdities, predicting, inferences, and opinions.

Are you a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) working with students who lack logical thinking and adequate problem-solving skills? DOT Reasoning and Problem Solving provides a motivating way to assist students in thinking independently, reasoning logically to solve problems, determining causes of events, predicting outcomes, making inferences, and much more.

How does DOT Reasoning and Problem Solving work?

The DOT Reasoning and Problem Solving workbook is set up just like the other DOT workbooks. Each student should be given a paint marker (bingo-type marker) and a game sheet before reading the easy-to-follow directions that appear at the top of each worksheet. Students can dot up the open circles on their game sheets as they correctly answer the questions.

10 Targeted Skill Areas

DOT Reasoning and Problem Solving focuses on nine crucial areas for developing the language-based skills needed to develop better thinkers. The targeted areas are:

1. Identifying Problems
   
2. Predicting
   
3. Determining Causes
   
4. Making Inferences
   
5. Determining Missing Information
   
6. Problem-Solving
   
7. Sequencing
   
8. Identifying Facts & Opinions
   
9. Determining Absurdities
   
10. Stating/Justifying Facts & Opinions
    

Improve students’ reasoning skills so that they will be able to understand cause and effect, avoid problems, make logical choices when problems arise, and be successful thinkers inside and outside of the classroom!
