Problem-Solution with AI

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 4-6 to strengthen problem-solving, written expression, and critical thinking by comparing how humans and artificial intelligence can address everyday challenges. For each scenario, students brainstorm one AI-based solution and one human-based solution, helping them recognize the strengths of both technology and human reasoning.

Learning Goals

• Writing Responses to Prompts (Grades 4-6) – Clearly explain ideas using complete, organized sentences.
• Comparing & Contrasting Solutions – Analyze similarities and differences between AI-driven and human approaches.
• Technology Literacy – Understand practical ways AI can assist with real-life problems.
• Creative & Logical Problem Solving – Generate thoughtful, realistic solutions from multiple perspectives.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to align with upper-elementary ELA and technology standards.
• Balanced Perspective – Emphasizes that AI supports humans rather than replaces them.
• Encourages Creativity & Reasoning – Open-ended responses allow for diverse ideas and discussion.
• Flexible Use – Ideal for literacy blocks, STEM integration, group discussion, or independent work.

This printable worksheet helps students develop a deeper understanding of how problems can be solved in different ways. By comparing AI-based solutions with human choices, learners strengthen critical thinking, writing clarity, and awareness of technology’s role in society. Suitable for classroom or homeschool use, this no-prep activity promotes thoughtful reflection on collaboration between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.
