How do I make a problem and solution chart?

Type the central problem and the solutions into the prompt box, add the grade level or any details you want, choose a style (Classic, Colorful, or Minimal), then click Generate. Figviz produces a print-ready problem and solution chart. Refine the description and regenerate as many times as you like until it fits your lesson.

Is the problem and solution organizer generator free?

Yes. Every Figviz account starts with free credits you can use right away, no credit card required. Buying a pay-as-you-go credit pack removes the watermark and unlocks 4K export resolution for large poster printing. Credits never expire.

What layouts can I make?

You can make a problem to solutions layout with one problem and several solution boxes, a two-column problem and solution chart, a problem solution result flow, or a multiple solutions comparison. Just describe the layout you want in the prompt and Figviz will build it.

Can I generate a blank problem and solution template?

Yes. Describe the layout you want, for example "a blank problem and solution organizer with one problem box, three solution boxes, and a result box with ruled lines," and Figviz will generate an empty template you can print and fill in by hand. This is great for interactive lessons where students map a text themselves.

Can I print it poster-size for my classroom?

Yes. Figviz exports organizers at up to 4K resolution, which is sharp enough for A1 or A0 poster printing at a copy shop or on a wide-format printer. Download the PNG and send it to print. For best results, choose the portrait (3:4) aspect ratio to match standard poster dimensions.

What is a problem and solution graphic organizer?

A problem and solution graphic organizer is a visual chart that helps students identify a problem in a text and trace how it is solved. It is one of the core reading comprehension text structures, alongside cause and effect, compare and contrast, and sequence. The organizer usually shows a problem box connected by arrows to one or more solution boxes, and sometimes a result or outcome box. Figviz turns a short description of your story, article, or topic into a clean, labeled organizer in seconds, so you can model the structure without drawing boxes by hand.

How to make a problem and solution organizer with Figviz

Enter your text or topic: type the central problem from a story or article, for example "the class garden keeps being eaten by rabbits."

Add the solutions: list the solutions that were tried and, if you like, the result or outcome.

Pick a style: Classic keeps things simple, Colorful uses bright sections that catch students' eyes, and Minimal works well for clean digital displays.

Choose an orientation: portrait (3:4) is best for wall display, landscape (4:3) suits a projector or worksheet, and square (1:1) exports cleanly for digital platforms.

Generate and refine: click Generate Organizer, then adjust your description and regenerate until the layout and wording match your lesson.

Download and print: export at 4K resolution for a crisp poster or a class set of worksheets.

Problem and solution organizer layout types

Problem to solutions: a single problem box at the top connected by arrows to several solution boxes, useful when an author or character tries more than one idea.

Two-column problem and solution chart: a simple Problem column paired with a matching Solution column, great for quick note-taking and skimming a text.

Problem, solution, result flow: a vertical chain that moves from problem, to the solution that was tried, to the final result, which highlights cause and consequence.

Multiple solutions comparison: one problem branching to several possible solutions with space for the pros of each, well suited to persuasive and opinion writing.

Using problem and solution organizers in reading and writing

In reading, the organizer helps students name the central conflict of a story and follow how characters work toward a resolution, which builds comprehension and supports retelling. With nonfiction, it shows how an author frames an issue and the solutions they argue for, a key skill for analyzing persuasive and informational text. In writing, students can plan an opinion or argument essay by stating a problem, mapping possible solutions, and choosing the strongest one to defend. Co-creating the organizer as a class during a read-aloud, then having students complete a blank copy independently, is an effective gradual-release routine.

Can I get a blank problem and solution template?

Yes. To generate a blank problem and solution template, describe the structure you want, for example "a blank problem and solution organizer with one problem box, three solution boxes, and a result box." Figviz will draw the layout with empty boxes and ruled lines you can fill in by hand after printing, or annotate digitally in any PDF editor. Print a class set so each student can map a different text, or display one large copy to complete together during a lesson.
