Learn to Think: Basic Exercises in the Core Thinking Skills for Ages 6-11

Classroom questions have traditionally focussed on testing the recall, understanding and application of content and methods. Research suggests that pupils require activities that encourage them to think flexibly about possibilities and to make independent judgements about information. Learn to Think takes a cross-curriculum approach and offers a wide range of exercises in all significant thinking skills areas:   Organisational    Analytical   Evaluative   Creative  Predicting, categorisation, ordering, generalising, problem solving, summarising, analysis, making distinctions, decision making, cause and evidence are among the skills developed. This book introduces the basic core thinking processes used to connect and make sense of information through a range of skill based sections which provide the basis of a thinking skills programme for pupils. It is complete with introductory notes and examples, pupil work sheets, suggested answers and further useful questions. The resources are fully photocopiable and are suitable for 6 -11 year olds.

Tricky Thinking Problems: Advanced Activities in Applied Thinking Skills for Ages 6-11

Classroom questions have traditionally focussed on testing the recall, understanding and application of content and methods. Research suggests that pupils require activities that encourage them to think flexibly about possibilities and to make independent judgements about information. Tricky Thinking Problems explores the advancement of creative and critical thinking, and the activities are designed to help pupils test and develop such processes. A series of fascinating challenges are used to stimulate cognitive organisation in areas such as categories, similarities, differences, ordering, analysing, predicting and many more.  Pupils will enjoy developing their range of different thinking skills as they complete the resources based on topics such as animals, weather, communications and food. Rather than being told which particular thinking skill to use, the questions are designed to encourage pupils to pick and choose a range of skills and apply them creatively. The resources are fully photocopiable and are suitable for 6 -11 year olds.

<p>Teaching Our Children to Think provides valuable techniques for teaching students how to learn the thinking skills they need to move from simply memorizing content to making meaningful connections with what they learn. The over 200 exercises in this resource are designed to develop many of the core thinking processes that have been identified be educators as essential critical thinking skills, including questioning, classifying, inferring, and predicting. Students will learn how to improve their mental organization, analytical thinking, critical thinking, and creative thinking. This resource includes two pretests, a special section with exercises to help students apply their thinking skills to new content, and an appendix section with possible answers and an outline of helpful strategies for the core thinking processes. Exercises modeled after the exercises in this book can be given to students in a weekly lesson as part of a social studies or self-development course. This book could form the basis of a separate short course aimed at developing thinking process, or it could be a library resource for students who seek a mental challenge. It is a book for students who may no longer be challenged by the usual correct answers or questions that test memory.</p>
