The Missing Pickup Order: Case Study for Grade 8
A problem-solving case study and extension packet for 8th graders, built around a store pickup desk scenario where a missing order must be located and handled responsibly. Students read the full case, weigh the evidence in the pickup log and on nearby shelves, and answer questions that build decision-making, consequence reasoning, and the habit of revising a plan as new facts emerge.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a workplace-problem discussion in a 45-minute block, having students read the case independently first and then discuss their chosen action with a partner before any whole-class debrief.
- Discussion question: What evidence would make you change your first decision, and who is the right person to approve a replacement or refund?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a simple timeline of the events (order ready, bag missing, log checked, shelf B found) and have them mark which facts are confirmed versus still unknown before answering.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a short revised plan for a second version of the scenario in which the bag is not found on shelf B, justifying each step with evidence from the case.
- Estimated time: About 25 to 35 minutes for reading and questions, plus 10 minutes for discussion.
