Critical Thinking Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library - Free Printable

This worksheet doesn’t have one single “problem” to solve — it’s a tool to help you think deeply about any question or topic. Since no specific assigned question was given, I’ll pick one of the 15 prompts and show you how to answer it step by step using a simple example.

Let’s choose Prompt #3:
“How would you solve this problem?”

But first — we need a problem to solve! Let’s make up a simple one that a student might face:

> *You forgot your homework at home, and your teacher says you can’t turn it in late. You’re worried your grade will drop.*

Now let’s work through Prompt #3 step by step.

Step 1: Understand the problem

You forgot your homework. The rule is: no late submissions. Your grade might go down. That’s stressful!

Step 2: Think of possible solutions

What could you do? Here are some ideas:
- Ask the teacher if you can bring it tomorrow anyway.
- Offer to do extra credit to make up for it.
- Show them a photo or digital copy if you took one before leaving home.
- Apologize honestly and ask for advice on what to do next time.

Step 3: Pick the best solution

The best choice depends on your teacher’s rules and personality. But usually, being honest and responsible works best. So maybe:
→ Politely explain what happened, show proof (like a photo), and ask if there’s any way to still get partial credit or make it up.

Step 4: Plan how to carry out the solution

- Talk to the teacher after class or during office hours.
- Bring your homework with you the next day.
- Say something like: “I’m really sorry I forgot it. I did the work — here’s a picture. Can I please turn it in tomorrow?”

Step 5: Think ahead — how to avoid this next time

Set a reminder the night before. Pack your bag right after finishing homework. Double-check your backpack before leaving home.

Final Answer:
To solve the problem of forgetting homework, calmly explain the situation to your teacher, offer proof you completed it, and ask if you can submit it late or do extra work to make up for it. Then, create a habit (like packing your bag the night before) so it doesn’t happen again.
