Do you have students on your caseload that have trouble determining how big or small their problems are? They might get very upset when they are told no or lose in a game? Or constantly over-react to small issues?
I do! So I created this packet that will help your students better understand their problems and how to solve them ! It will teach them how to figure out the level of their problem on a scale of 1-5, name examples of each, know how to react, and figure out how to solve each problem they face!
I love using the vocabulary “level” and relating solving problems to playing video games. Some levels might be trickier to complete than others, just like solving problems in real life!
This packet will get them thinking about questions such as, “Do I need an adult to solve this?”, “Will this problem last a long time?”, “Does this problem have an easy, obvious solution?”, and “How many people does this problem affect?”. It describes problems by 4 characteristics: people, time, solution, and danger. Purchase the packet to learn more!
This packet contains:
â˘Level of the Problem Introduction Book
â˘Visuals (tons!!)
â˘63 Problem Cards + 1 blank page for customization (with an extra page of “name any problem” cards if you use it in a game format)
â˘Level of the Problem Overview Visual (filled out)
â˘Level of the Problem Overview Visual (blank for customization)
â˘Level of the Problem Worksheets (2)
â˘Problem Solving Map Worksheet
â˘Level of the Problem Discussion Question Cards
â˘40 print and go, problem solving worksheets
Some fun ideas for using the cards are:
â˘Sort them onto the level of the problem visuals
â˘Play War! Divide the deck evenly between all players. Have each player flip over the top card. Whoever has the biggest (or smallest) problem wins all of the flipped over cards. Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game wins!
â˘Play memory. Put all the cards face down. Take turns flipping over two cards to try and find two problems that are the same size. Keep the cards when you find a size match!
I intended for this packet to be used with students that are cognitively able and ready to use a 5 point problem scale. Sometimes, with younger kiddos I keep it simple and focus on big (tricky) vs little (simple/easy). If you want to do this with your younger students too, that is definitely possible with this packet. Just get rid of the level of the problem number pages in the booklet and have them sort the cards into big/tricky vs little/easy categories instead of the 5 point visuals included.
One of the included worksheets provides a mathematical way to calculate the size of a problem which is helpful for your “concrete” students! It also helps with disagreements between students or you and your students.
âşOne buyer said, “LOVE this product. I use it so much with great success. My principal asked me to present it to the faculty. Many were interested and I was able to refer them to your TpT store to get it!!”

Megan Juzwik –
Much needed, thanks!
Mrs G SLP –
Perfect activity to go along with the Social Thinking curriculum and it applies to so many of the students in my social group! I have done social stories many times and constantly have to remind them about expected behaviors whether they win or lose a game. This will be a great follow-up to that!
Carly Fowler –
This is perfect and exactly what I have been working on with several students. I am glad to have this to use for my students that need it. Goes great with any social thinking curriculum or zones of regulation.

Kimberly W. –
Thank you!
Wendy R. –
I have been working on this….so it fits right in with what I need!
Courtney P. –
We talk a lot about problem solving and the size of problems in my speech room. I have helped the students create problem scales in the past, placing hypothetical problems along a continuum. We sometimes come across a problem that is difficult to place on the scale. This product provides an objective way to classify problems along the problem scale. I am so excited for this product and our problem scales hand in hand, especially for my students who are more concrete learners. This is an excellent addition to my problem solving materials!! Thank you! đ
Lindsay D. –
I’ve been trying to make my own visuals and situations to practice this with my social skills group, but this is much better!

Dana O. –
Can’t wait to use this with my students!
Shannon J. –
I am so excited to use this to continue our problem solving unit!

Mary H. –

Karen B. –
great-thanks
Jodi B. –
I like the task cards. The situations are ones students can relate to.
Theresa S. –
Love this packet! It is really helpful for the students to have a scale that defines the size of the problem. Being able to go through and ask the students questions like how many people are affected and how can the problem be solved, helps them really think about the problem and not base it on pure emotion. This packet has helped many of my students identify the size of their problems. Thank you!!

It is a great packet that we have been using in many groups.

Speech Is Heart –
Thank you for giving examples of problems in various sizes. When I work on figuring out how big a problem is, it’s hard to think of problems. Students can usually come up with big problems and little problems but need help with the medium problems. I also love the people, time, danger, solution visual (I used the word fix for my younger students). It’s often difficult for my k-2’s to understand this concept, but the visuals help SO much. Thanks!
The K-8 Counselor –
Thank you!
Brittany F. –
My student’s have so much fun pretending to be detectives. This product has been tremendously helpful for me when targeting problem solving skills!
Stefanie M. –
This has been on my wishlist for awhile now! Can’t wait to use it with my students!
Marie P. –
Great product! Perfect for use with my social group and home service clients. I like that the cards can be used in multiple ways, too. I’ve used them just for review, and I’ve used them to play war. Sometimes I play in reverse as well, so students who like to exaggerate and make every problem bigger than it needs to be, I have them try to convince me that their problem is smaller.
Tara Leithold –
Great resource
Courtney W. –
Great product! Love all the visuals.

Ashli G. –
Great product! Thanks!
Lisa G. –
Thank you! I purchased this for one student in particular, but have found it to be so helpful and effective with several other students as well. I already see my students using the terminology on their own and applying the levels to all kinds of situations!
Heather Miller –
I use the Social Thinking curriculum to target Size of the Problem with my social students but I needed more visuals and activities to deepen their understanding. I especially love the work sheet that helps you identify the size of the problem. It works really well for those times where they are caught having an upset reaction in the moment.

Mindful Learners –
Wow! I love all the details. Thank you! đ
Saw Ee K. –
This is so great. I’ve been teaching my students from it this week, and I’ve already heard, “This is probably a Level 1 problem.” As I was assembling the “war” game cards, I thought I really needed to say this. If you think, “No one can possibly know all those little things that my students turn into HUGE deals,” you’re wrong. Talk about nailing it! It’s like you’re in the mind of my students!
Linda K. –
I am a great fan of yours….. and this product does not disappoint. Thank you for all your hard work to make my job easier!

Love this product – it will have lots of uses for the kids on my case load. I especially love the rating chart for problems because kids often think their problems are bigger than they really are; our paras can use the one-page rating scale to help problem solve after I’ve taught it in group. Thanks!
Sara M. –
Great product. I keep some of the visual up at all times.
Michelle B –

Andrea B. –
I have a host of middle school & older students who have trouble understanding when they need to ask for help. I’ve been using these as a step to help them understand what level the problem is before determining if they need assistance. Then we target the language/pragmatics of asking for help. Love how this breaks everything down for me. THANK YOU
Leslie Ellis –
This was a great tool with my students! I laminated the size of problem charts for desk tools, and it helps them both to quantify their problems and to realize the size of their problem right in the moment. The book makes sense to them as well, relating the levels of problems to video game levels.
Amy B. –
Super thorough resource for determining the size of the problem and discussing reasonable solutions/reactions.
Layal N. –
This product has great scenarios to use to improve problem solving for students! I love the visuals and the clear and direct breakdown of the different levels of problems! This product is very thorough and a must for all SLPs working with students who have autism on their caseload!
Amy N. –
I like this resource, but I was expecting it to be more of a clear-cut game. The psychoed piece is good, and the game cards are also great, but putting the whole thing together for a fun activity will take a little bit of creativity, I think. I would love to hear from others how they have used this resource!
Power Speech –
I have a fifth grader who has major trouble calming down when upset. I use this with him to problem solve and it works great! I especially love the “What Level is the Problem?” calculation pages!
Erika R. –
I love this!! It’s such a fantastic resource. I have the problem levels displayed in my room!

Mercedes Akers –
Great for my Autism unit!
Robin K. –
Although I haven’t used this product yet, as I am getting it ready, it appears to provide some great training strategies to assist students with ways to decide the “size of a problem” to help determine which issues to let go of and which issued to address immediately, as well as, how to think through them. The visuals are awesome and who doesn’t want to be a detective and solve a problem! I have many students that think they need to respond to every issue/problem that they encounter, leaving them in a “defensive mode” more often than not. I am excited to use this product with my students! Thank you for all your hard work in putting this product together!
Kris G. –
Great resource! Fantastic way to address size of the problem!
Kasey K. –

I am so happy with this product! I started to work on identifying the size of a problem with some of my students with Autism this morning. They were having a hard time recognizing that some problems are small and my explanations didn’t seem to be helping. I found this packet by searching at lunch and I already have plans to implement it on Thursday. It breaks down the skills I was trying to teach in a really systematic way to help take some of the argument out of identifying problems. It’s so much more thorough than anything I would’ve come up with! I also have plans to talk to classroom teachers about it for carryover to the classroom. I think it could be really helpful for the general education setting!

I really loved using these lessons with my kindergarten students!

This has been a game changer for me over the past school year! I used it in therapy with all of my children on the spectrum. I also made copies of the social story to share with their paraprofessionals and families. It has made quite a difference in the lives of some children! This product makes an abstract concept VERY concrete. Some of my older friends (4th grade) had the rubric memorized about half way through the school year. By the end of May, they were able to independently judge the size of their problems and brain storm possible solutions almost 100% of the time! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

I LOVE this product. While I would much rather be using it in person, I have been using it during distance learning. I am a speech pathologist and have used this with one of my students with ASD. She loves reading about the different sizes of problems, using the example scenarios included, and making up her own problems to discuss. HIGHLY recommend this product.

This is AMAZING!! It really helped a few of my special friends understand the difference between large and small problems.

This has been a magical resource for helping students develop an understanding of the scale of a problem and learn to scale their feelings in response.

Now with the update of scenarios…. very very important and useful tool in my repertoire.

This was a game changer for a couple of my students. Breaking the problem down in this way gave us more descriptors than what has been previously used (big/medium/small problem) AND helped to fully explain how to figure out what level the problem was. Having a formula to figure out the size of the problem also really “spoke” to my students who are more concrete thinkers. This is a great resource!
Lisa A. –
My students love talking about the different example problems and debating the size of the problem and possible solutions
Type B OT –
Great resource! Love how it breaks down problems to work on understanding. Fun social emotional resource!

The visuals in this resource were a perfect match for him. He was able to complete the first several pages without becoming frustrated with the activity, which is a huge win! Since I typically struggle with finding engaging activities for him, I’m looking forward to our next session! Thank you so much!

Another great, ready-to-use resource from Speechy Musings! I feel like it was helpful for my students to break down the size of problems in a way that indicates the length of time a problem will last, the number of people involved, and if they needed an adult to help solve the problem or not.

I love this problem solving template. A lot of my students can come up with one solution to a problem but it is not always the most practical or realistic solution. I love how this identifies 3 possible solutions and thing guides you to how to choose the best one

This is a great resource for my students who are working on social thinking skills. I love that it breaks down the steps of determining the size of a problem. This is essential for many literal thinkers who can’t make the leap from the size of the problem to the examples because their big feelings make all the problems feel big. Thank you for this wonderful resource!

I loved how the problems were put into categories. It did help my students see how to solve some of their problems more independently.

I’m an elementary school counselor and love having this resource handy to support students in groups and one on one. The idea of social problem solving/detective work really appeals to my students especially when they need help in those areas. It’s easy to reference and pull out different activities to use depending on their specific needs.

A well crafted resource
I love the visual cards that have situations on them for trying to come up with solutions to problems. I took the cards and rather than print them created my own slide deck to use during morning meeting with my students or even during social skills small group times. We can come back to the problems easily and talk through them.
